What is the Vroom Yetton Model?
The Vroom Yetton Model is a decision making model that recognizes that the situation or environment may alter how decisions get made.
How the Vroom Yetton Model is different than other decision making models
Other decision-making models can be very useful, but you need to assess the assumptions those models are based on. For example, often a decision making model assumes that:
• There is enough information that is accurate and of reasonable quality.
• There is some understanding of cause & effect.
• Alternatives can be rationally and objectively judged.
• People will act rationally and without influence from office politics
The Vroom Yetton Model challenges the decision maker to assess these things in the context of the environment she finds herself in.
Five Decision Making Styles of the Vroom Yetton Model
1. Autocratic (A1) – The leader decides using information available to her at the time
2. Autocratic (A2) – The leader collects specific information from people and then makes a decision.
3. Consultative (C1) –The leader meets with people one on one to gather information and get input. This may or may not be reflected in the final decision.
4. Consultative (C2) – The leader meets with the group to gather feedback and input, and then makes a decision. That input may or may not be reflected in the final decision.
5. Group (G) – The leader asks the group for consensus, and the decision is made collectively.
How to Choose a style of Decision Making Based on the Vroom Yetton Model
The Vroom Yetton Model provides seven key questions that guide a leader to select the most appropriate decision making style for the situation. Answer the questions below to determine the best decision making style for your situation.
1. Is the outcome critical? Are there technical or rational grounds for selecting amongst options? Is there a quality requirement?
2. Do I have enough information to make a good decision?
3. Is the problem structured? Are the different courses of action and methods for their evaluation known?
4. Is acceptance of the decision by employees critical to its implementation?
5. If I were to make the decision by myself, is it reasonably certain that it would be accepted by employees?
6. Do employees share the organizational goals to be obtained in solving this problem?
7. Is conflict among subordinates likely in obtaining the preferred solution?
