In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. A leader is expected to get the job done. To do so, he or she must learn to plan, analyse situations, identify and solve problems (or potential problems), make decisions, and set realistic and attainable goals for the unit. These are the thinking or creative requirements of leadership and they set direction. These actions provide vision, purpose, and goal definition. As a leader, you will make decisions involving not only yourself, but the morale and welfare of others.

Other decisions are often more complex and may have a significant impact on many people. Therefore, having a decision making, problem-solving process can be a helpful tool. Such a process can help you to solve these different types of situations.

Four different styles of management are:

1) Individual Decision Making and Individual Implementation - happens only in single person business.

2) Individual Decision Making and Team Implementation - very common in hierarchical organizations.

3) Team Decision Making and Individual Implementation - rarely ever happens.

4) Team Decision Making and Team Implementation - very common in flat organizations.

Successful leaders also work hard at accomplishing their missions and objectives while maintaining only the highest possible standards of performance. In your professional and leadership development, you should strive to exercise the same degree of effort and excellence
