 Lesson Decision-Making Skills in Managing

What is It

Decision- Making
In life, we may come to a point in which we make the necessary decision and in which we make
important choices for a better situation or a better life. Choosing a career is one of the crucial stages that involves
careful planning and decision making. If you are to decide which career would you take, what would it be?
Why?

7
 A decision is a choice you make or act upon. A good decision is a decision in which you have
carefully considered the outcome of each choice. Taking personal responsibility is to accept how your
decisions may affect you and other people.

Decision-making skills will help you make decisions based on your need and desires. At the
same time, it helps you to resist peer pressure. These skills must be practiced and exercised in resolving
issues and concerns about sexuality.

Six Steps of Decision-Making (DECIDE)

Determine the problem (1st Stage) - Identify causes of your

problem. Look at the current
situation, rather than its history.
Do not consider the "trouble" it
creates whether now or in the
future.

Explore the alternatives (2nd Stage) - an alternative is nota

single action, but a set of actions.
- a package of individual elements that
together provide a comprehensive
approach to the decisionsituation.

Consider the consequences (3rd Stage) - a result or effect of an

action or condition.

Identify your values (4th Stage) - the regard thatsomething

ought to deserve; the importance,
worth, or usefulness of
something.

Decide (5th Stage) - come to a resolution in the mind as

a result of
consideration.
