Three Keys to Effective Decision-making for Academic Leaders

Decision-making is a skill that impacts almost every aspect of your life.

Your mastery of this single skill can determine your effectiveness as a leader, enable you to move forward on tough issues, and bring you peace of mind.

Academicians who become administrators often lack the full training necessary to navigate their challenging work environment.

Those who excel actively seek out opportunities to enhance the specific skills they need to succeed.

The decision-help literature often consists of lengthy lists and recipes, sometimes mired in the theoretical. Ever been confronted with titles like “30 Laws of Great Decision Making” or “50 Steps to a Better Decision?”

This 90-minute seminar brings you an effective, low-pressure, easy-to-remember approach to important decisions.

After viewing the seminar you’ll be able to:

• Improve your individual judgment, perceptiveness and understanding.
• Make decisions that maximize your productivity and effectiveness.
• Effectively engage others when making an individual decision.
• Help academic units make sustainable collective decisions even when there are “sides” with opposing priorities.
• Confidently make personal decisions that are not driven by anger and fear.
• Minimize post-decision feelings of “buyer’s remorse” or regret.

Who will benefit from this seminar?

• Academic administrators
• Department chairs
• Deans
• Unit directors
• University faculty

Kent Crookston, Ph.D., begins by introducing the conventional steps to decision-making. To these familiar steps, he then adds three directives that will forever change the way you approach decisions:

1. Be proactive.
2. Be humble.
3. Be not angry or afraid.

Marshalling more than twenty years of research and teaching on the topic, Crookston illustrates how these three directives bolster sound decision-making. He uses practical situations from higher education, like dealing with academic bullies, as case situations. He then colorfully weaves in bestselling literature, personal stories and popular American poetry to illustrate how each of the three criteria helps to strengthen your judgment.

Kent Crookston, Ph.D., has been a department head and a dean at major universities. He serves as Associate Director over Academic Administrative Support, Brigham Young University Faculty Center. For the past 22 years he has researched, published and taught effective decision-making. He has presented the material nationally and his current university course on decision-making receives top ratings from students and peers.
