Decision Making

      All of us have to make decisions every day. Some decisions are relatively straightforward and simple, but some are difficult. On our March 7 class we had a crazy and drastic activity on decision making. In fact, I think I didn’t learn anything about how to make decision, but a negative example. First there was one “leader” tried to start voting and write down some opinions, then more and more “leader” pop up because they had very strong opinions and wanted to be heard. After all the class become chaos until we were told only 15 minutes remain. people act when they run into a decision making conflict; 1.Compete to Win, 2. Avoidance, 3. Compromise, 4. Accommodation, 5. Collaboration. I used the Avoidance method because at that time there were more enough compete to win already. Over all I believe the collaboration method would work the best in the situation. We all have equal power to say , so it was hard to pick a real leader that make the process in order, smooth and easy. We should we could have split into groups, then collect all opinions from each group. Write down some common opinions and vote for the rest.
