Decision making is the cognitive process of identifying options, weighing evidence and trade-offs, and selecting a course of action to achieve a goal. It spans everything from quick intuitive judgments to structured analytical processes involving risk assessment and stakeholder input. It's a core skill in leadership, management, and everyday life, and is studied in psychology, economics, and business strategy.
