Below are the key skills and abilities that are needed : 1. Identify critical factors which will affect the outcome of a decision.

These are used to determine the issues that must be addressed and accounted for in the deliberative and implementation phases. 2. Evaluate options accurately and establish priorities. Effective leaders can assess the quality of alternatives and explain the reasons behind that evaluation. 3. Anticipate outcomes and see logical consequences. Adept strategists draw logical inferences in precisely defined and tightly structured contexts. This allows them to see the applications and the implications of all factors that shape and constrain decision making. Government regulations, policies, basic assumptions, core principles and protocols should be considered. 4. Navigate risk and uncertainty.

Operational: These decisions also take time to be fully explored and made. Higher level ones may involve only the C-suite and/or directors, and can include decisions affecting output, company-wide policies, and culture. Lower-level decisions of this type affect daily operations, so are often handled by upper and middle management. Managerial: These are made by managers at every relevant level, from middle managers to the executive suite. They may cover issues like allocation of resources, the decisions to phase out or revise current products, the creation and introduction of new products, and the like.
