Unit I The Critical Triad: Decision Making, Management, And
Leadership
chapter 1 decision making, problem solving, critical thinking, and clinical reasoning:
requisites for successful leadership and management
1. what statement is true regarding leadership?
a)it is an analysis of the situation
b) it is closely related to evaluation
c) it involves choosing between courses of action
d) it is dependent upon finding the cause of the problem
correct ans> c
feedback:
decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular course of
action. problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process that focuses on
analyzing a difficult situation. critical thinking, sometimes referred to as reflective thinking, is
related to evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making and problem solving.
2. what is a weakness of the traditional problem- solving method?
a) its need for implementation time
b) its lack of a step requiring evaluation of result
c) its failure to gather sufficient data
d) its failure to evaluate alternatives
correct ans> a
feedback:
the traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time constraints are a
consideration. decision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem solving.
because problem solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much time and
energy are spent on identifying the real problem.
3. which of the following statement are true regarding decision making?
, a) scientific methods provide identical decisions
b) decisions are greatly influenced by each persons value system
c) personal beliefs can be adjusted
d) past experience has little to do with the quality of the decision
correct ans> b
feedback:
values, life experience, individual preference, and individual ways of thinking will influence a
person's decision making. no matter how objective the criteria will be, value judgments will
always play a part in a person's decision making, either consciously or subconsciously.
4. what influences the quality of a decision most often?
a) the decision maker's immediate superior
b) the type of decision that needs to be made
c) questions asked and alternatives generated
d) the time of day the decision is made
correct ans> c
feedback:
the greater number of alternatives that can be generated by the decision maker, the better the
final decision will be. the alternatives generated and the final choices are limited by each
person's value system.
5. what does knowledge about good decision making lead one to believe?
a) good decision makers are usually right brain, initiative thinkers
b) effective decision makers are sensitive to the situation and to others
c) good decisions are ususally made by left sided brain
d) good decision making requires analytic rather than creative process
correct ans> b
feedback:
good decision makers seem to have antennae that make them particularly sensitive to other
people and situations. left-brain thinkers are typically better at processing language, logic,
numbers, and sequential ordering, whereas right-brain thinkers excel at nonverbal ideation and
holistic synthesizing.
