Week 5 discussion
Learning Activity 1 – Theme One
The importance of having a decision making style
Take the following quiz and determine what your decision
making style is and describe it to the class. Then using the reading from this
week comment on ways that you might improve and perhaps even change your
decision making style to create one which would improve your performance as
both a leader and a manager. Make sure to describe the difference between the
two styles of a leader and manager when discussing the changes as well as how
the job might affect your style. Finally comment on whether your style should
be changed depending upon the job or task that requires the decision or if you
can suggest that it remain constant instead.

Learning Activity 2 – Themes Two
“To make good decisions these days, leaders and managers
must collect extensive and disparate information, balance potentially
conflicting needs and goals, gather a team with diverse expertise, and then
make decisions in an ever-changing landscape with an unpredictable future.”
Dr. Jim Taylor.
Using the readings for this week, explain the quote and what
it means for today’s leaders and managers.
