The Value of Others

The Value of Others

Some decisions just involve you. In those cases, you can usually improve the quality of your decision by seeking out different points of view.

·????? To challenge your thinking.

·????? To provide information you need.

Other decisions involve many people. You can improve the quality of those decisions by making sure of the following:

·????? Everyone involved is clear on who “owns” the decision.

·????? You have included the “right” people in the process.

·????? Everyone involved in the decision process understands roles and expectations.

The Decision Owner sets the tone, rules, and dynamics that will move a decision forward successfully.

Getting the right people involved builds quality through their expertise, insights, and challenging points of view. It also builds momentum so you can go to work quickly once the decision is made.

Lack of clarity around roles and responsibilities creates unnecessary conflict, confusion, grandstanding, and politicking.
