The Vroom-Yetton Decision Model

The Vroom-Yetton Decision Model helps leaders choose the best way to make a decision based on the situation. It considers factors like how much involvement team members should have, the importance of their input, and how urgent the decision is. The model guides leaders to pick from different decision approaches—ranging from making a decision alone to involving the team fully—so that the chosen method fosters the right balance of efficiency, participation, and commitment. Essentially, it’s a tool to help leaders decide how much to involve others in the decision-making process for better outcomes.
