Introduction
Different decision-making strategies may be observed in various organizations. The
methodology is chosen depending on the organization's structure, culture, company strategy, and
business management approach. I have picked the following strategies to improve
communication within a small team or group.
First is the decision-making tree (Emeagwali, 2017). We can give a visual assist while
analyzing the many stages of potential solutions with ambiguous results by employing the
decision-making tree. This is where the six mid-to-high-level managers will be shown the
various approaches of solution. Another strategy employed is multi-voting (Emeagwali, 2017).
This is where every group member's or manager's list of ideas is collected. These suggestions will
be compiled and chosen for the final three decisions. They will choose the concepts that they
believe are most significant or valuable to the firm. The group's votes will be tallied to decide
which suggestions are regarded most essential and will be implemented.
Supremacy within an organization is associated with various forms and levels of power.
However, for you to be able to utilize the incoming most appropriate decision-making procedure,
these three sorts of power are the most effective to apply. The first is legitimate power (Lipkin,
2013). This power refers to the official authority or power that has been bestowed upon you as a
result of your position. This is acknowledged by your peers since it is outlined with increased
duties. This would be predicated on the manager's sanctioned, approved, and elevated status. The
authority to lead and govern their subordinates. Secondly, we have reward power (Lipkin, 2013).
