Today's companies want leaders who not only have the ability to make critical business decisions, but also the ability to influence others so that they too make the most logical decisions to benefit the organization.
Many organizations stress the importance of decision-making skills when appointing company leaders.
While being an effective decision-maker isn't the only criterion for becoming a leader, it's certainly helpful. However, the process of decision-making isn't as cut and dry as some may think. It's a complex process that fortunately can be developed to ensure leadership potential in all who master the skill. The decision-making process is actually a cycle. Our days are spent experiencing life, reflecting on those experiences, and making decisions based on the coming together of experience and reflection.
