  • The Art of Decision-Making
    By Will Stanford II, AIA, LEED Green Associate |BTBB, inc. & Jared Serwer, AIA, NOMA, LEED AP BD+C |Perkins + Will October 12, 2018 The Art of Decision-Making SESSION #1 1 I. Program Summary & Learning Objectives The Art of Decision-Making PROGRAM SUMMARY: Architecture is in many ways the outcome of numerous accumulated decisions. Architects are constantly presented with choices—whether during the design process or while managing their business. Great leaders are also great decision-makers. The goal of this session is to help scholars develop a more nuanced understanding of their own decision-making style, how it is informed by their personality traits and the types of decisions that they may be called upon to make as leaders in their industry. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Scholars will investigate their own leadership personality traits and gain insight on how these affect their cooperation with others in the context of teamwork, job-performance and decision- making. 2. Scholars will analyze the history of modern architectural practice through the lens of leadership strategies and will formulate a vision of what the future of practice will involve. 3. Scholars will develop insight into the way that leaders of firms of various sizes and types make strategic business decisions and gain an understanding of how firm size and structure informs those decisions. PROGRAM ABSTRACT: PRESENTATION #1: Harrison Assessment Activity & The Paradox of Leadership Dr. Megan Neyer - Neyer Performance Strategies, LLC Delivery Mode: Interactive Presentation, followed by Lecture The Harrison Leadership Competencies empower leaders to achieve a higher level of personal awareness related to widely recognized principles of leadership.
