Abstract: Abstract Decision making constitutes the essence of leadership. Whether it is related to strategy formulation, corporate policies on sustainability, a product range review, a budget approval, or the agenda of a meeting, the leader’s role is fundamentally about making decisions. The outcomes of good leadership decisions are numerous and important: strong follower commitment, smooth teamwork, strong employee motivation and job satisfaction, enhanced performance, sustained competitive advantage and, ultimately, superior value creation for customers and shareholders. Not surprisingly, organizational decision processes in general have been persistently investigated and discussed (Bazerman & Moore, 2008; Beach & Connolly, 2005; Shapira, 1997), and decision making as the primary leadership activity has been continuously emphasized (Kotter, 1990; Mintzberg, Ahlstrand & Lampel, 1998; Yukl, 2002). As a distinct research domain, leadership decision making has remained in the focus of scholarly attention for decades (Aldag, 2012; Guerra-Lopez & Blake, 2011; Lipshitz & Mann, 2005; Paul & Ebadi, 1989; Simon, 1997; Vroom & Yetton, 1973;Westaby, Probst & Lee, 2010).
