Decision-Making Process and Its Essence for Manager's Job
Together they came up with a plan how make a business more successful. Since the early 1990s, Schnatter and Oney have developed a top-rate team of leaders (managers) who are helping the company experience explosive growth, people such as Blaine Hurst, Papa John’s president and vice chairman; Drucilla “Dru” Milby, the CFO; Robert Waddell, president of Papa John’s Food Service; and Hart Boesel, who heads up franchise operation (John C. Maxwell Chapter 20). This story is an example of very good decisions when it came to hire a people. Manager’s decision make a future for company!
To summarize all, I would like to tell that decision-making process is not easy, especially if organizations future depends on it. Even if we all make a decisions for every situation, not all of them are easy. Flipping a coin not always can be the answer. There is no written receipt for success in decision-making. Sometimes you must trust to your gut, sometimes just go with intuition, but sometimes structure your decision. Decision-making is a skill that needs to be practiced every day.

Just need to analyze which information is important. Don’t be afraid from changes, to discuss problems publicly! Organization’s problems concern not only managers, but all employees there. Always need reflect and evaluate decisions. That can help you understand how good or bad it was, what should be changed to improve it for next time.

Will you trust to your “gut”, flip a coin, or carefully processing all? What do you think - flipping a coin can apply to a very important decision for manager? In our time, when economy is very competing, business is a very complex act that is established by serious decisions, and I think that coin flipping will not help in this case. Every day we are making decisions no matter who we are, or which position we take: employee, managers, CEOs -everyone is making decisions that affect their job, workplace and company they work for (Robbins, Coulter2007 p. 156). All depend of decision making person- what manager is, his perception, and how his mind works (Slocum, Hellriegel 1983, p. 58).According to Robbins and Coulter (2007 p.156-157) then decision-making process is a very important skill for manager, because everything of in this job involves decision making, and on manager’s decision depends all organization’s future – success or failure.
