Dynamic Leadership: Decision-making in an Unpredictable World
About the class
Every decision we make is a prediction about what will happen in the future.
In an uncertain world, we must improve our decision processes to increase the chances that our decisions will produce the outcomes we are trying to achieve.
In this webinar, Professor Michael D. Johnson will help you understand:
- How we process information and make decisions.
- Examine common biases that get in the way of effective decision-making.
- Explore the six-step model of decision-making that lessens the impact of the biases and helps you with better decision-making.
