Tips
Jamie used the Decision-MakingProleto help communicate
to all her sta; “The decision-making prole has been helpful
for my sta to know how and when to work with me on my
goals. It helps when there are new sta getting to know me.”
The Decision-MakingProle personalizes her support and
allows Jamie to feel heard and respected.
