Face it: We all have good – and bad – habits. When we encounter a difficult problem, our habit is to take it into our comfort zone. We deal with the problem based on what comes naturally, rather than what is important. Our personalities shape our approach. To be effective decision-makers, therefore, we need to understand ourselves. We need to know our strengths so that we can leverage them, and we need to recognize our weaknesses so that we can mitigate them.
In this eBriefing, participants:
- Reflect on their own decision-making styles, as defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (Assess your type at www.humanmetrics.com)
- Learn how one's personality helps and hinders decision-making
- Determine how to build upon your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses to become a more effective decision-maker.
This eBriefing was hosted by Stanford's Center for Professional Development, in partnership with SDG.
