decision making models

There are two different decision making models, but both offer different outcomes. While the G.R.E.A.T. decision making model can sometimes be useful in some situations, I think the feeling/acting=deciding (active)method is better in most cases, although I don’t feel like either of the models are very well because every situation you are in requires a different solution and can’t be solved by following a simple model. I think the best thing to do when confronted with a decision, is to think of all the possible solutions, then identify the different pros and cons of the solution, and then finally choose, and commit to the solution with the best overall outcome.
