You will want to know his or her decision strategy. A decision strategy is the process a person typically goes through in making a certain kind of decision.

Working with Ethical Gray Areas
The bottom line in leadership is that ethics cannot be codified or dictated. Ethical behavior is dependent upon the judgment and decision making by the leader. The best leaders are consistent and deliberate in their decisions when ethical gray is present. They communicate the decision, and more importantly, the reasons for their decision. They often collaborate the decision, not to cover their rear ends, but to seek wise counsel and tap into the judgment of others.

Hiring New Team Members
Quick hiring, convenient hiring or insider hiring rarely works. There is reverse proportion between the timing of the hire and the quality of the hire. The quicker the hiring decision, the more likely the decision will be a poor decision. The more convenient the candidate (i.e. Bob in accountings’ sister in law) the more likely it will haunt you for a long period of time.

Anatomy Of A Buying Decision
Before your prospect makes the decision to buy your product or service, four decisions must be made.

In small to medium sized businesses one person may make the buying decision, but in larger companies it is usual for the decision be made by a group of people.

Closing for a Commitment or Settling for an Agreement?
There comes a time when all your hard work and preparation come together, and the time is right to go for closure! This is the moment you go for commitment. In business, whenever people interact, they make decisions ― a decision to talk, a decision to listen, a decision to act on a recommendation. Ideally, as a leader you want your followers to make decisions that are both well-informed and high in confidence. The reason for this is two-fold. First, the higher your followers are in confidence when they reach a final decision, the more effort and quality they will put into carrying through that decision.

Autocratic Decisions
The easiest type of decision is autocratic: It’s a decision you make yourself.
Communicate the Results
At some point, the decision is made. The next step is telling people the results and explaining the rationales behind the decision.
The Power of Deciding
I believe and have often said that we are all one quality decision away from anything we want. A quality decision is a certain state of mind. It is not the process of deciding to try, attempt, or pursue something until it becomes difficult. A quality decision means that you have firmly set your course. You are no longer flexible on your mission; however, you may be flexible on your method.

Commitment or Agreement?
There comes a time when all your hard work and preparation come together, and the time is right to go for closure! This is the moment you go for commitment. In business, whenever people interact, they make decisions ― a decision to talk, a decision to listen, a decision to act on a recommendation. Ideally, as a sales leader you want your customers to make decisions that are both well-informed and high in confidence.
