The fourth topic was the collaborative leadership and decision making. The topic showed that people make wrong decisions because they do not have enough choices to consider and sometimes, people are not carefully analyzed. People choose decisions based on inquiry and advocacy. An inquiry decision is a decision that is chosen when people have enough information, and have evidence to support and to prove the information.

This is an opportunity which other countries do not have. For an advocacy decision, people choose a decision because their prefer solutions.
