Effective decision-making is actually a constant game of self-wisdom, and it is the result of the comprehensive action of information flow, values, ways of thinking, methods and mentality. Whether the decision-maker has excellent quality is the main factor that determines the decision-making level.
So, what qualities should decision makers have? Management scientists believe that enterprise decision makers should have the following qualities:
1. Foresight
As an enterprise decision-maker, the quality that must be possessed is foresight. The so-called foresight is to adjust the strategy quickly, adapt to the development trend of things, and launch strategies suitable for environmental changes at the right time before things may happen but have not yet happened and opportunities may appear but have not yet appeared.
2. Innovative spirit
Decision-making is a creative activity, which always takes changing the status quo as its starting point and destination. Therefore, decision makers should have a keen eye, have the ability to distinguish and analyze, and can see the crux and essence of the problem to the nail on the head; At the same time, we should open our minds. If decision makers are not good at finding problems or are satisfied with the status quo, enterprises cannot move forward. It can be said that there is no decision without innovation. Only with innovative spirit can decision makers focus on the future of enterprises, break away from tradition, formulate new strategies, take certain risks and realize more advanced decision-making schemes. If the decision-maker is conservative, afraid to take responsibility and take risks, then his decision can only be conservative and inaction, and it is impossible to promote the development of the enterprise.
3. Decision-making ability
As the decision-maker of an enterprise, he should have decisive decision-making ability. This ability means that decision makers can find various profit possibilities that other actual or potential competitors can't find, and turn this possibility into reality through their own decisions. In other words, whether an enterprise can continue to make profits through its own decision-making is the key to whether the operator can become an excellent decision-maker. For example, an asset appraisal firm appraised Feng Gensheng, the general manager of Zheng Da Qingchunbao Group, Zhejiang Province: its contribution value was 280 million yuan, its profit contribution value was 65.438+0.2 billion yuan, and the comprehensive contribution rate of its operating factors to the benefits was 654.38+05% ~ 20%, and at present it was 654.38+08%. Among the management elements, decision-making accounts for 50%. Feng Gensheng's decision-making contribution rate is 8% ~ 10%. From this point of view, the decision-making ability of decision makers plays an extremely important role in the development of enterprises.
4. Decision genes
It has been suggested that leaders need excellent decision-making genes in order to make successful decisions. Decision-making gene is a logical whole integrated by experience, knowledge, information and thinking methods. Experience is the decision-making logic that decision-makers learn from long-term practice, knowledge is the decision-making logic that decision-makers learn from theory, information is the signal that decision-makers get through observation and communication, and thinking method is the angle and route for decision-makers to understand and analyze problems.
Decision-making genes are all assets for decision makers to "manage" decisions, among which experience, like a fixed asset, can play a long-term role; Knowledge, like deferred assets, needs to be constantly updated. Its value is not as easy to preserve as experience. Information is flowing. The better the liquidity, the greater the information flow and the better the quality of decision-making. The idea is intangible assets, which are the adhesive of the first three asset portfolios.
In addition, the personality characteristics of decision makers are also very important. As a manager, you must be good at dealing with all kinds of people, win the favor of superiors, get along well with subordinates, and at the same time, don't forget to establish good personal relationships with customers and suppliers.
