Which of the following is a required step in effective decision-making according to the provided model?

1. Approval

2. Documentation

3. Delegation

4. Planning

The correct answer is: Documentation

According to the provided model, documentation is a crucial step in effective decision-making. This means keeping a record of the decision-making process and the final decision itself. Option A, approval, does not necessarily indicate a thorough decision-making process and can lead to suboptimal decisions. Option C, delegation, can be part of the decision-making process but is not a required step in all decision-making situations. Option D, planning, is important but not the only required step, as effective decision-making also involves factors beyond just planning.
