Purpose
In this discussion, you will use decision-making and problem-solving to analyze a real-life business-related scenario, and then share the scenario with your colleagues to gain different perspectives about decision-making styles. You will also apply the 10-item self-assessment to help you reflect upon your own style, perspectives, and areas of growth within the decision-making and problem-solving that organizations rely upon.
