Today's corporate is more brutal than you dream of...  So brutal is the environment that a single bad decision could cost an upcoming manager his/her career.

Sometimes, decisions need to be made in the fraction of a second. There is no time for a collaboration or consensus. At other times, it is a long and research-intensive process. Multiple aspects, perspectives and opinions must be considered.

So, how to go for effective decisions at workplace?

Go for collective decision making

idea posted by Diya Mehra Executive search, ABC consulting

The best decisions are often ones that stem from varied views and opinions. Collaborative decisions, that involve various stakeholders, are usually most effective at the workplace.

For example: Our company was planning a complete revamp of the organisational structure by redefining the operations of key divisions. We decided to involve the employees in this process as well, since they would be directly affected by the result. We were able to evolve a strategy that addressed their concerns and priorities.

It is always better to seek the views of the people who are directly involved with the subject about which we are going to take decision. After getting the views one must make the SWOT analysis of the different views. Hopefully the decision taken by this route shall be the right/best possible decision.

The decisions must must carry authority and responsibily

idea posted by Mohammad Bakhsh Project Leader/Managing Consultant, Freelancer

Taking decisions at workplace is a very tricky issue.However,whatever decisions are taken must carry authority and responsibility.You can only expect compliance and respectability if the persons or person obeying it are well aware of the consequences.

Most of the times many people is willing to have an Authority but when they get it, they forget their responsibility. authority is something that make man responsible for his work as he is superior than other.and everytime he / she has to prove it

People love being authoritative over the rest of the crowd at work place being in senior positions or not but somewhere they forget it comes with responsibility which should lead to collective progress and not individual progress

Do Your homework

idea posted by Nikhil Jain Senior Consultant, Hewitt Associates

The employee who makes the best decisions isn’t necessarily the one who is the most experienced. “The best decision-maker is the person who knows the organisation the best. It is only when he/she is acutely aware of the firm’s current strengths, weaknesses and operations that decisions will be effective.

I agree with Nikhil. Generally decision maker should oblige his direct reporters suggestions and make his own.

Add your argument:

Balance between historical records and judgement of future

idea posted by Mandar Naravane Freelancer/Consultant

Well prepared historical records provide definite idea about risks or opportunities involved previously, however with the changed context at present or near future, judgement of results, estimate of efforts coupled with capabilities and knowing what is important or can not be compromised, is required.

Decision in a workplace does not have one singular rule--it is guided by the bottom line---what effect to whom or where!!

Most of the Decision should be based on historical data/records and future implications.

Making collaborative decisions work only when you have time,is a divisional or corporate decision or plain & simple---you want to save your back---so get everyone on board.

collective decision

idea posted by Chander Pawa Civil Engineer

The  best decision is one which has consent of all the emploees working at different levels i.e Field staff, Supervisiory Staff and Controlling authority.Because if any thing goes wrong all the blame is on Junior most level.
