Decision Making Control There are four levels of decision making control, which are: 1. Decisions that are not under your control. This is often a situation where it is someone else's authority and responsibility, or it can be factors or conditions where the decision is not in your control. These decisions are usually pretty automatic and you do very little thinking in the process. 2. Decision that you have limited control. This is often situation where you do have a limited say, input, opinion or participation in the decision making process. These decisions usually don't have much thinking involved with them. 3. Decisions that are somewhat under your control. This is often situation where you have equal or slightly more say, input opinion, equal responsibility or participation in the decision making process. These decisions require a little more thought and consideration than the first two levels of decisions. 4. Decisions under your complete control. This is often when you have final say and authority/responsibility. These decisions usually take a great amount of thought before they're made or thought in planning should the time come such a decision needs to be made. Examples of decisions where you may not have any say or control might be: the chief says we're going to do a surround and drown, the president of the company exercises his sole power and appoints only friends to committees, or you're standing in the middle of the room and the fire does a flashover. Examples of decisions where you have limited control might be: the company deciding to take a vote to get a make/model of a new piece of apparatus that you don't think is as good as another, the company looking into merging with another company, changes in the brands of beer on tap decided by the bar committee. Examples of decisions somewhat under your control might be a committee vote that you might make, a decision with other officers to change/modify/define policy, or your decision to select the training/drill schedules for the department. Examples of decisions totally under your control would be your the fire chief at the scene, your an officer fulfilling the responsibilities/authorities of your office, or your decision to get more training by taking extra courses at the fire academy or community college. Exercises: 1. Think of decisions for your department where your decision in the decision making process have each of the four decision making controls. 2. Think of your recent personal decisions where your decision has the four various levels of decision making control. Last modified: August 06, 2008
