Discussion practical issues
Dynamics of diversity drive attention towards decisions and
how they are negotiated. But there is a paradox to consider: While decision
steps are central to your management authority, there is limited information
within success stories and case studies about these details. This situation
becomes problematic when there are a range of cultural expectations. In
contrast, exploring how to making decisions by being attentive to diverse views
adds power and analytical skill to your management performance. Important
Questions to think about in posting to Conference 6: You can observe important
lessons about your decision/negotiating process by look at a memorable or
“turning point” event in which you recall a decision and how it was negotiated,
or not. In what ways was that decision effective? Was the decision negotiated?
Why or why not? Would that process work effectively if there were diverse
viewpoints? (Course Content Modules 10 &11)
