Everyone is required to make decisions and solve problems in their business and personal lives. Many are handled quickly and without much thought, but most of us procrastinate or over analyze the more important decisions. Decision-Making Training contains all the materials needed to train others to make effective and appropriate decisions. The book offers practical, ready-to-use content that enables trainers and facilitators to quickly create half-day, full-day, and multi-day workshops. This book focuses on helping individuals define the elements of effective decision-making techniques and provides the skills needed for success. It provides an easily understandable structured process, and is designed to train people interactively as they develop and use the strategies presented to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their decisions. Users will find advice for choosing training session content, sample training agendas, and step-by-step preparation and training delivery instructions. Exercises, handouts, assessments, and practice tools will help users develop training for both individual and organizational needs, become a more effective and efficient facilitator, and ensure training is on target and gets results, and build their own skills in effective decision-making. As part of the ASTD Trainer's Workshop series, readers have access to copies of all assessments, training instruments, handouts, and PowerPoint presentations used in the book.
