6.4 Decision Making
This FFA Leadership lesson introduces students to decision making, defining it as a cognitive process and walking through the steps of the decision-making process. It includes two activities: a personal reflection on daily decisions and a group survival-scenario exercise (a plane-crash item-prioritization activity) used to analyze how groups make decisions.
