Master Manager Training in Decisional Intelligence
The Master Manager Training in Decisional Intelligence is an advanced program, predominantly in-person, focused on developing the manager's decisional awareness. More than teaching techniques, the program confronts the patterns, noise, and internal structures that influence decision-making in highly complex contexts. The in-person sessions are the core of the training, dedicated to practical experiences, analysis of real decisions, simulations, and reflective processes that expand the responsibility, clarity, and sustainability of decisions. By the end of the training, the manager will be able to recognize their own limits and decisional attachments, identify contaminating noise, communicate decisions clearly, and sustain strategic choices with ethical and institutional awareness. The structure of the Master Manager Training comprises a total workload of 84 class-hours, equivalent to 70 effective hours, of which 60 hours are delivered across 10 Residential sessions of 6 hours each, plus two additional Residential sessions of 5 hours each, representing altogether an experiential density built on decisional experiences, decisional rituals, and confrontation with decision and execution.
General Objective
Develop managers capable of Recognizing, Qualifying, Sustaining, and Communicating Decisions in contexts of high complexity, uncertainty, and organizational pressure, thereby expanding decisional awareness by promoting recognition of the limits, attachments, noise, and behavioral patterns that influence decision-making, and strengthening the manager's ethical, strategic, and human responsibility in exercising their decisional role.
By the end, you'll be able to
- Recognize their personal and professional decision-making patterns
- Identify limits, attachments, and contaminating noise that influence their decisions
- Differentiate between opinion, choice, reaction, and conscious decision
- Make decisions in contexts of pressure, risk, and uncertainty
- Communicate decisions with clarity, coherence, and responsibility
- Sustain strategic decisions even in scenarios of conflict
- Exercise decisional authority beyond the formal position
Methodology
Predominantly in-person, experiential, and reflective, structured around formative Residential sessions that integrate applied theory, practical experiences, and analysis of real situations brought by the participants themselves. The methodological principles include learning based on direct experience of decision-making; constructive confrontation of decisional patterns; integration between individual reflection and collective dynamics; and the use of language as a decisional instrument, fostering the connection between the theory of Decisional Intelligence and organizational practice.
Curriculum
Block 1 — Foundations of the Decision-Maker (Residentials 1-3)
- Focus on the manager's internal structure: recognizing limits and attachments in decision-making, the illusion of decisional autonomy, the decision-maker's behavioral patterns, deciding under pressure, scarcity and urgency, internal authority versus positional authority, managing the decision-maker's biological time, and confronting narrative inconsistencies.
Block 2 — Contaminating Noise in Decision-Making (Residentials 4-6)
- Focus on what distorts decisions without the manager noticing: recognizing emotional, symbolic, and cultural noise, contaminated language (words that decide for us), the confusion between opinion, conviction, and decision, invisible biases in the organizational environment, the collective decision no one takes ownership of, real decision-making simulations, case studies brought by participants, and mirroring dynamics (how am I perceived when I decide).
Block 3 — Communication, Power, and Consequence (Residentials 7-10)
- Focus on decision as a public act: communication as an extension of the decision, discourse analysis, the human cost of decisions and the decision-power-accountability triad, decisional leadership in complex environments, when deciding means sustaining the decision, organizational dramatizations, symbolic power games, personal masks and wounds, and sustaining unpopular decisions.
Block 4 — Master Integration (Residentials 11 and 12)
- Focus on identity consolidation: the identity of the decision-making manager, the conceptual architecture of decisional intelligence, Decisional Intelligence as a strategic field, the structure of conscious decision-making, personal architecture, one's own decision criteria, ethical commitment to decision-making — a professional rite of passage.
