Features of the approach to managerial decision
Choleric
 
They prefer speed, efficiency and individualism in the de-
velopment of management decisions. Often it is these quali-
ties that are more important than the long-term study of the 
solution. However, choleric people do not always have time 
to carefully assess the situation and form a true problem. 
Their decisions are sometimes spontaneous. The decisions 
made by the choleric are characterized by a high level of 
Sanguine
 
They have a more calm type of mental activity. They, like 
choleric people, are quick and efficient in developing a 
management decision, but they prefer collective discussion 
of key problems or key elements of decisions they have al-
ready made to individualism. Sanguine people work well 
both with specialists and with decision support information 
systems.
Phlegmatic
 
They prefer to spend more time on developing a manage-

cess of information, opinions and advice on the tasks to be 
solved is important. Their decisions are characterized by a 
high level of security and deliberation. When implementing 
their decisions, phlegmatic people are decisive and persis-
tent. They trust specialists more than information systems.
Melancholic
 
They approach the development of management decisions 
very responsibly. They try to take into account all possible 
negative consequences of the implementation of decisions. 
Often, minor problems (little things) are elevated by them to 
the rank of primary ones. Melancholics need a lot of time, a 
large amount of information, advisers and various state-
ments. The decision made by the melancholic is distin-
guished by detailed elaboration and the reality of implemen-
tation. Melancholic people make effective decisions in the 
field of strategic planning, design, etc. Work in stressful sit-

Decision making is an integral part of any managerial function. The need to 
make a decision permeates everything that a manager does, setting goals and 
achieving them. Therefore, understanding the nature of decision-making is extremely 
important for any leader who wants to excel in the art of management.
