Managers are constantly making decisions, often having to choose from several alternatives.

Instructions:

1. Think about a decision you've recently made where you had to choose from several different options. (Note - a yes/no decision doesn't work for this practice). Describe your situation here.
2. Write a description of this decision using each of the stages in the Rational Decision Making Processas your guide.
3. Describe the Non-Rational models that were a factor in your decision. Explain the Bias in your decision that was present.
4. Reflect on your decision making process - what did you learn? Was this a good decision, or a bad one? What happened during the decision making process that made it a good/bad decision? What would you do differently next time?
