Read each scenario and then decide whether you would use joint decision$-$making, consultative decision$-$making, or directive decision$-$making to address the situation. Then briefly explain your choice.

Situation $1$: Jack, Lee, Ruby, and Harvey comprise the customer service team. At a recent meeting, they become engaged in a heated argument about the best process for filling customer orders and shipping the product off in the most efficient, timely and cost$-$effective manner.

You also have more experience than they do$.$
