Group decision making

Most of us are part of a group, it can be the family, the place we work at, any kind of association, church, neighborhood, schoolhouse, university, or a social club. As part of that group, whether we are an active o passive member of it, a leader or a follower; the time will come when we have to make a decision for the sake of the group we belong to. Regardless of the matter the group may be dealing with, is essential to have in mind why we’re making that kind of decision and measure the…

Many people question the thought of allowing adolescents to make autonomous decisions, which means allowing kids the age of 12 and 18 to make medical chocies on their own. There are many positive and negative sides to the answer as to whether or not adolescents should have that right.

very short time to really think prior to making a decision. In these cases, my approach is to listen intently, sort through communications to hone in on the facts and remove emotion. Quickly evaluate if additional data or input in needed, think of the repercussions of the decision, the impact, risk and time to implement. If I can make the decision with this information I will, if not then we may need more time or expertise to step in when urgent. For decisions or problem solving that I have time…

In Meeting the Ethical Challenges of Leadership: Casting Light or Shadow, Johnson (2012) gives an overview of ethics, ethical decision-making, moral leadership processes and group and organizational dynamics. It is a very well organized book that provides reflective exercises and case studies throughout the reading. The author portrays leaders as either casting shadows or light. Shadows represent harm or destructive behavior and light expresses benefit and positivity. Those leaders that cast…

Introduction: The events survived by Community C from my perspective are successful. As a member of Community C, I was allowed to participate and assist in all decisions that were made.
