Manager$$s Hot Seat: Decision Making

A decision is a choice made from among available alternatives. Decision making is the process of identifying and choosing alternative courses of action. Managers need to know how to make effective decisions, sometimes quickly.

A storm is on track for a possible hit on a major city and the government has set up a command center to monitor it and make decisions. There is some disagreement between government officials on whether or not an evacuation of the city should be ordered. There is limited time to make a decision and things get quite heated at the storm center. How is the team handling the situation? How would you?
