Decision making and Interpersonal Skills Decision making

Given below items. Each item describes a situation and is followed by four possible responses. Indicate the response you find most appropriate.

You are working on a number of projects with tight deadlines and have a lot of basic information to gather. You have asked other colleagues for help but are unsure of their commitment to help you gather the information that you need.

Spend time on your work to make sure that you have plenty of latitude/leeway in case your colleagues don’t deliver the help you need in time.

Outline the help that you need from others and explain to them why this is important and the dates by which you need their individual contributions.

Reduce the risk by getting the information that you need yourself rather than relying upon other people

Carry on with the tasks that you need to complete and if others do not contribute their parts report them to management

Explanation:

- Option 1: Spend extra time on your work to ensure flexibility if colleagues don't deliver.

- Option 2: Outline the help needed, importance, and deadlines to colleagues.

- Option 3: Reduce risk by doing everything yourself, avoiding reliance on others.

- Option 4: Continue your tasks and report unhelpful colleagues to management.

Option 2 is the most appropriate response. It promotes communication and clarity, ensuring everyone understands their responsibilities. This reduces uncertainty and increases the likelihood of timely contributions.
