Whats Something Interresting?

Something that interesting that caught my attention was in chapter 3 of the Group Communication book. It talks about the steps to decision making. According to the book, there are eight steps to decision making. Identifying the problem, conducting research, establishing guidelines and criteria, generating alternatives, evaluating alternatives, selecting the best alternative, implementing the solution, evaluating the results. Decision making is a crucial part of everyday life. The first step is to identify the problem. What is the dilemma that one is facing. Then one must conduct research to try to find out what is the cause of this problem. Third, establishing guidelines and regulations to make sure the solution does not cause more problems instead of finding a solution. Fourth, is to create different probable solutions to fix the problem. Fifth is to put each alternative to action and see what works best. Afterwords once you have tried out all the possible alternatives, you must decide which is the best to implement. Then at the end of it all, see if your solution achieved the results one wants.

I found this article was very useful because it teaches me how to make everyday decisions with precision knowing i made the right choice.
