As a healthcare leader I have learned to appreciate the peaceful, yet nerve-racking moments of making the right decision for others. As Teri Fontenot, president and CEO of Baton Rouge, La.-based Woman's Hospital says, “The essence of leadership is having the ability to alter what people think is possible, convince them that effort would be worth it and show them how it was their idea all along”( Gamble, 2015).

question forms on what influences parents have on their decisions. My research question is precisely that, with different parenting styles, is the child’s ability to make decision effectively changed with the amount or style of parent authority and discipline?

style in which members of the group take a more participative role in the decision-making process. Everyone is given the opportunity to participate, ideas are exchanged freely, and discussion is encouraged.
