Dynamics of diversity drive attention towards decisions and how they are negotiated. But there is a paradox to consider: While decision steps are central to your management authority, there is limited information within success stories and case studies about these details. This situation becomes problematic when there are a range of cultural expectations. In contrast, exploring how to making decisions by being attentive to diverse views adds power and analytical skill to your management performance.
Questions:
You can observe important lessons about your decision/negotiating process by look at a memorable or "turning point" event in which you recall a decision and how it was negotiated, or not.
In what ways was that decision effective?
Was the decision negotiated? Why or why not?
Would that process work effectively if there were diverse viewpoints?
