Skill Focus || Decisiveness
How Our THRiVE Program Improves Decision Making:
Decisiveness is a critical competency in the workplace, enabling swift, effective decision-making that can significantly impact an organisation’s agility and competitiveness.
Integrating Dialectic Behaviour Principles (DBP) into workplace practices can enhance decisiveness among leaders and employees alike. The THRiVE program offers improved decision-making processes through the cultivation of emotional and cognitive skills that support clear, confident choices.
THRiVE Program Insight:
DECISIVNESS MICRO SKILLS
Focus & Clarity
Mindfulness sharpens an individual’s focus and clarity by training individuals to be fully present and engaged. This increased attention to the current situation allows for more accurate assessments and well-considered decisions.
Impulse Control
Decisiveness requires managing emotions to avoid impulsive and potentially detrimental decisions. THRiVE helps individuals recognise and control fleeting emotional impulses, thus fostering a more balanced approach to decision-making.
Critical Control
The most critical decisions almost always happen under stress or uncertainty. We equip individuals to handle stress without becoming overwhelmed. This capability is essential in high-pressure scenarios where decisive action is required.
Considering Input
Decisiveness within a team context requires the ability to negotiate and persuade effectively. Our program teaches skills which speed up the decision-making process but also ensure that decisions are well-rounded and consider multiple perspectives intelligently.
Speed vs. Confidence
THRiVE teaches ‘walking the middle path,’ which involves balancing opposing forces or demands. In decision-making, this means striking the balance between swift and well-considered; avoiding the pitfalls of hasty judgments while still acting with the necessary speed.
Self-Validation & Conviction
When individuals feel validated in their decision-making capabilities, it boosts their confidence and self-efficacy. Confidence, in turn, is key to decisiveness, as it empowers individuals to make decisions assertively and stand by them, even in the face of adversity.

Dialectical Behaviour Principles for Organisational Success
Our THRiVE Program Improves Clarity, Confidence and Decisiveness
The integration of Dialectic Behaviour Principles into workplace practices provides a powerful tool for enhancing decisiveness.
By improving mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, balancing deliberation with speed, and boosting decision-making confidence through validation, DBP prepares individuals to make effective and timely decisions.
These skills are crucial for navigating the complexities of the modern business environment, where decisiveness can distinguish between leading and lagging in the competitive landscape.
The strategic application of DBP not only sharpens individual decision-making skills but also cultivates a more decisive organisational culture.
