Decision Making Tools for Culturally Diverse Contexts
from "Global Leadership with Greg Parry" Hosted by Greg Parry
Decision making can be difficult in any context but it can be even more challenging in culturally diverse environments. In this podcast we explore the decision making tools called "Ladder of Inference" and "Perceptual Positions" as ways we can become more effective. Decision making tools help us become more effective by challenging us to look at things from a different perspective. Ladder of Inference (Chris Argyris and Peter Senge) Using The Ladder of Inference helps us look at facts in an unbiased way and not to judge too soon. It is a way of making us become aware of reasoning processes and how to use own convictions and experiences in a positive manner. Perceptual Positions Perceptual positions is a form of modelling that allows us to step into somebody else’s shoes, and see what they see, hear what they hear, and feel what they feel. Perceptual positions help us get a much better impression of another persons ‘reality’ and it helps us move from being reactive to being much more strategic. Leadership is more effective when we are reflective. These models are an effective "play book" that helps us know how to proceed when things are challenging, cloudy or less obvious than you may think. By using these frames of reference we can walk confidently forward while being more clearly aware of the why and the how.
