Decision Making and Problem Solving

problem solving is the set of activities designed to analyze a situation and then find , implement and evaluate solutions.

Decision making is making choice at each step of the problem solving process.
  
Problem solving does not just require analytical, creative and critical skills, but a particular mindset: those who can approach a problem with a cool and level head will often reach a solution more efficiently than those who cannot. This is a soft skill which can often rely on strong teamwork too. Problems need not always be solved alone. The ability to know who can help you reach a solution, and how they can do it, can be a great advantage.
