Decision Making
That when making decisions I tend to follow the Behavioral style. People with that decision making style are sociable, friendly, supportive, action orientated, and have a talent for building teams and encouraging. Others take my decision making style as too concerned about others, wishy-washy,and that I can’t make hard decisions, and that I can’t say no. The best organization fit for my type of decision making is one that allows for a well-designed system, and people filled space.
