1 Identify the problem

The first step in any decision-making process is to clearly define the problem that needs to be solved. You can use tools such as the 5 Whys, the Fishbone Diagram, or the SWOT Analysis to help you identify the root cause, the contributing factors, and the potential solutions of the problem. By doing this, you will avoid jumping to conclusions, making assumptions, or overlooking important information.

This is true if you are trying to address a specific problem or opportunity - and in which case I would also suggest you sit with the problem and try to understand the decision that needs to be made to solve the problem or maximise on the opportunity. Time taken now identifying and articulating the specific decision pays dividends later. If it's improving your decision skills more generally, I would start with looking at where you think you are strong and weak in decision making and in which kinds of decisions.

2 Gather relevant data

The next step is to collect and analyze the data that is relevant to the problem and the possible solutions. You can use sources such as reports, surveys, feedback, benchmarks, best practices, or experts to gather the data. You can also use tools such as the Decision Matrix, the Cost-Benefit Analysis, or the Pareto Chart to help you evaluate the data and compare the alternatives. By doing this, you will base your decision on facts, evidence, and logic, rather than on emotions, biases, or intuition.

3 Involve your team

Another step that can improve your decision-making skills as a supervisor is to involve your team in the process. You can ask for their input, opinions, suggestions, or concerns about the problem and the solutions. You can also delegate some tasks, such as research, analysis, or implementation, to your team members. By doing this, you will foster collaboration, communication, and trust among your team, as well as leverage their skills, knowledge, and experience.

It also helps to involve others beyond your team - perhaps other peers in your organisation or other senior leaders to gather a broad range of perspectives. This also helps in identifying your own strengths and weaknesses in decision making by gathering peer reflections

4 Consider the impact

Before you make the final decision, you should consider the impact that it will have on your team, your project, and your organization. You should think about the short-term and long-term consequences, the risks and opportunities, and the ethical and legal implications of your decision. You should also anticipate any potential challenges, obstacles, or resistance that you might face, and plan how to overcome them. By doing this, you will ensure that your decision is aligned with your goals, values, and vision.

5 Communicate your decision

The last step in the decision-making process is to communicate your decision to your team, your stakeholders, and anyone else who is affected by it. You should explain the rationale behind your decision, the benefits and drawbacks of it, and the expectations and responsibilities of each party. You should also solicit feedback, address any questions or concerns, and provide support and guidance as needed. By doing this, you will gain buy-in, commitment, and cooperation from your team and others.

6 Keep learning and improving

Finally, you should always seek to learn and improve your decision-making skills as a supervisor. You can do this by reviewing your decisions, assessing their outcomes, and identifying what worked well and what didn't. You can also ask for feedback from your team, your peers, your managers, or your mentors, and learn from their insights and experiences. You can also take courses, read books, or join online communities that can help you develop your decision-making skills. By doing this, you will become a more competent and confident supervisor.

There are many places to help develop your decision making skills in more general terms - look for leadership development opportunities that specifically include decision making. Also look for training in underlying decision making principles, which will apply across a wide spectrum of decision making challenges

All decision making needs a range of options and some criteria to distinguish the preferred option. Practice widening your options and identifying what is valued as critera.
