Project description
Refer to Vroom’s Participative Decision-making Model, . Give an example of a specific decision that you and/or your boss have had to make. If you have not held a

formal job, use family or roommates. Then answer the following questions with detailed explanations:

1. Was the decision time driven or development driven (address decision urgency, cost factors; team commitment and competency to make the decision or need to perform

on their own in the future,)? This will help you determine which model, Time driven or Development Driven .

2. What questions on page 114 (fourth paragraph and in the models’ headings on page 115) did you ask to determine the best decision style? Be sure to include and

explain your high (H) and low (L) importance ratings for each.

3. Using Exhibit 4-11 on page 115, plug in your responses to the questions. What is the best decision style under these circumstances (i.e., decide, delegate, consult

(individuals or group), facilitate)?

here are the questions

Answer Questions That Determine the Appropriate Participative Decision Style. To deter-
ine which o the ve leadershi styles is the ost aroriate or a given
situation, you answer a series o diagnostic questions based on seven variables.
Note that the questions are the sae on both odels. The seven questions
are nubered 1 through 7 and are ound at the to o the odel. As stated in
Exhibit 4-11, you rate each questions as high (H) or low (L) in iortance.
Here we exlain each question in ore detail by its nuber: (1) How
iortant is the decision to the success o the roject or organization? (2) How
iortant is grou coitent to ileenting the decision? (3) How uch
knowledge and exertise does the leader have with resect to this decision? (4) I
the leader were to ake the decision alone, is the certainty that the grou would
be coitted to the decision H or L? (5) Does the grou show H or L suort
or the tea or organizational goals to be attained? (6) How uch knowledge
and exertise do individual grou ebers have with resect to this decision?
and (7) Is grou ebers’ coetence in working together as a tea to solve
the roble H or low L?
Not all seven questions are relevant to all decisions. In soe situations, as
ew as two questions are needed to select the ost aroriate leadershi style.
As questions 3 and 6 ily, or iortant decisions, it is critical to include the
leader and/or grou ebers with the exertise to solve the roble. The issue
o coitent (questions 2 and 4) is also iortant. And as questions 5 through
7 ily, a leader should not delegate decisions to grous with low suort or
objectives, low grou exertise, and low tea coetence.
