John constantly needs assistance from his colleagues at work. He feels helpless and lacks conviction in his ideas. Which type of decision maker is John?
Answers
Answer:
John is a consensus seeking decision maker.
Explanation:
Wilkin's four types of decision makes are pragmatic, visionary, consensus seeking and analytical.
Consensus seeking decision makers take everyone's happiness in to account. They want to make sure everyone is happy with the decision made and there is a chance for them to get lost in even minor details. They don't want to hurt anybody with the decision made.
John is a submissive kind of decision maker.
These people allow others around them to take decisions on their behalf.
They need help of others at work, and want others to choose their options.
Other types of decision makers are planners, plungers, evaders, fatalists, agonizers and mystics.
All of them have their own qualities, pros and cons.
However, as far as John is concerned, he is a submissive decision maker.
