Mount Everst

Decision-making in the workforce is a process of responsibilities used by upper management to implement, enforce rules, regulations, and maintain a successful environment. Decision-making implemented more effectively by making a plan, thinking it through, accepting more than one opinion and determining what is best. However, decision-making often utilized more effectively by opening doors of opportunities for a suggestion, question, discussion, and feedback. Although, more involvement helps improve understanding, utilize behavior skills and present opportunities for better communication. Everyday life consists of decision-making, the right decision may not always be applied, but ensure room for improvement and opportunity. Individuals approached decision-making in many different ways. As stated by (Jones, Graham, & Bateman, 2006) decision making is a procedure used to recognize a problem, weigh the alternatives and evaluate a solution in which, certain situations will require different approaches to become effective.

Every leader is different and does things in a unique way that seperates them from their group. Some will take action immediately and others will take the time to think about a decision. There is no right or wrong approach as long as they keep in mind of who they are leading and what they are doing. Leaders are there to guide and motivate people, take control of a situation when no one else will, coach others and so much more. They know how to take risks and explore, they seek continous improvement and build great teams. When solving a

A leader must be able to assess situations correctly. Many leaders struggle with having the right judgment without any sense of bias.

Miscommunication was one of the key factors that led to the catastrophe on Everest on May 10, 1996. One situation that led to the deaths on Mount Everest was the fixation of the ropes by the Sherpas. Two of the hired Sherpas, Lopsang and Ang Dorje, were supposed to climb ahead of Rob Hall and Scott Fischer’s groups and fix the attached ropes to the side of the mountain. However, as stated in Jon Krakauer’s best selling novel Into Thin Air, there was a problem that forced a very long delay.

Especially in terrible weather, every second counts while nearing the top of Mount Everest on an expedition. A step in the wrong place or a rope hooked to the wrong crag may send a climber falling thousands of feet into a deep crevasse. Turning an oxygen level the wrong way may leave the air non-breathable to a climber after a few short minutes. These errors happen every season on Everest, no matter what the conditions are. Whether errors in judgement or just simple mistakes, accidents on Mount Everest are caused by human error.

To inspire and influence others, a leader must possess many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Peter Northouse, states, “a leader should be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant” (Northouse, 2013) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading.

Mount Everest is unpredictable it can do many things to make your climb unsuccessful. Source one states, “A wedge of ice the size of an enormous mansion broke loose and killed sixteen Nepalese guides at an altitude of about 17,000.” Sixteen people dared to be successful in climbing Mount Everest

Should people really climb Mount Everest? Over the past two decades, it has become easier to climb to the summit, at least it is more accessible. It has also become garbage dump with human excrement, bodies, and garbage littering the trail. There are about 35,000 visitors to Mount Everest every year and the crowding puts people at risk. One important thing is to train climbers to have the necessary experience. Without that, the hidden dangers go unnoticed and the fact that at some point, it is imperative that they head back won’t be known.

One reason of why climbing Mount Everest is a bad idea is because many people have not made it up and have died and also that there has been many trash around. According to peak Chapter 23 page 186 it said “it's been a rough climbing season what with the weather and everyone getting sick”. This shows

The following is my example of the intellectual skill of Comprehension, which includes the combined skills of Translation, Interpretation, and Extrapolation. I have read the following communication on “How Are Decisions Actually Made in Organizations?” Now I shall use the skill of Comprehension to obtain the meaning of the case study titled “Split

Leadership is not an easy task. This is mainly because in every situation, the leader is expected to make some decisions that determine the direction that his company takes. As such, if he makes a mistake, there is a very great possibility that the whole organization will be misled (Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes 2). As such, the leaders need to be very effective in their decision making skills. This is mainly because if they. An indecisive leader is an ineffective leader there is no way that he can lead the organization to success. A leader needs to be very decisive so as to rally support from his staff (ubalt.edu

In order for a leader to be a leader he/she must begin with the assumption that you are the one who matters most. As a leader you have to possess that level of confidence in yourself that you are capable of leading yourself “before you can lead others”. And when you develop this belief then you are better able of affirmative influence “on others”.

Being able to lead a group or someone is a very powerful action. Being a leader in general is very powerful. Leadership is an art that is painted, sculpted, and displayed in all sorts of ways. There are many different styles of leadership that correspond with different tasks. From transformational leadership to laissez-faire leadership, there are various styles throughout the continuum. A transformational leader is one of the best, more successful leadership style. When going down the continuum, the leadership styles only become less effective. Everyone also falls in distinctive categories when it comes to leading others. The leadership style that is displayed depends on the person leading and those who are being led along with the task.

Our decision making skills are based upon the principle of deliberation, in which one weighs the advantages and disadvantages of all the

As individuals, we make decisions throughout the day weighing the cause and effect, cost and benefit, risk and impact of our actions on ourselves and upon others. When taken to a larger scale, as the manager of a team, the CEO of a corporation, or the leader of a nation, the decisions exponentially increase in impact and importance.
