Decisions

A good manager uses all the information at hand when making a decision.

This usually involves asking other people for advice and information. 

The good manager then makes the decision. 

The act of asking others is not a sign of weakness and in reality strengthens the opinion others have and strengthens the team.

 

A weak or inexperienced manager sees asking advice as a sign of weakness.

 

We have all seen both cases in our careers.

 

If you are a manager, don’t be afraid to ask others, it’s not a bad thing.

Just be sure that in the end, you own the decision.
