Question

1. when engaging in collaborative decision making, what is important to keep in mind about yourself?

in general, people do not make good decisions.
you are just as good at making decisions as anyone else.
others probably know more than you do.
the majority is almost always correct, so the best decision is to always go with the crowd.

Explanation:

• The first option is incorrect as it is a negative and untrue generalization about people's decision - making ability.
• The second option is correct. In collaborative decision - making, having self - confidence in one's own decision - making ability (while also being open to others' input) is important. Recognizing that you are as capable as others in making decisions helps in contributing effectively.
• The third option is incorrect as it undermines one's own knowledge and ability, and collaborative decision - making is about combining different strengths, not assuming others are always more knowledgeable.
• The fourth option is incorrect. Going with the crowd blindly is not a good approach in collaborative decision - making as it may lead to groupthink and ignoring valuable individual insights.

Answer:

B. You are just as good at making decisions as anyone else.
