Managers have different sytles when it comes to making a decision and solving problems. We want to look at two different views. A. One view proposes that there are three different ways managers approach problems in the workplace. A problem avoider ignores information that points to a problem. These individuals don't want to confront problems.
Problem solvers try to solve problems when they come up.
They can be characterized as being reactive only dealing with problems when they occur. A problem seeker actively seeks out problems to solve or new opportunities to pursue. They take a proactive approach to anticipating problems before they occur. Managers can and do use each approach. The other approach suggests that individuals differ along two dimensions in the way they approach decision making.
