The objective pinpoints and communicates the goal of the decision to all parties involved by providing them with a simple framework. “One useful tip is to write it [the objective] down, for seeing it in writing often helps you to attain the necessary clarity of mind” (Adair, 2010). This is arguably the most important step in the decision-making process, as it clearly outlines the desired end-point. In the case of our sales staff, I would assume it would be to increase numbers. As Adair states, preparation for determining a decision-making process is like a spiral downward, as shown in Figure 1. The first step is to determine the objective, or desired outcome; then one must follow into collecting the appropriate data, developing and identifying all available options and see them through to the final step of implementation. If the most appropriate decision-making process was identified on the basis of the end-goal, then you would meet back at your objective because it will have been successfully
