In this program, participants will learn to use the Vroom model for decision making to determine how to maximize their decisions at work.  They will learn to examine each decision-making situation in order to determine the extent to which their direct reports and associates should be involved in the decision. Participants will receive detailed feedback which allows them to examine their own “natural” style and determine methods to maximize the benefits of involving their employees in business decisions.  “Maximizing” means choosing the decision-making process that produces the best possible decision alternative with the best chances of effective implementation.  Taken into account are the importance of time, decision quality, implementation, and employee development. This course is one of several open enrollment leadership programs comprising the Certificate in Leadership. Programs are presented on a rotating basis throughout the year with completion of four programs resulting in a Certificate in Leadership.
