Did you know that there are 7 different ways to make decisions?
Probably you recognize the following situations:
1) You are a member of a team and (long) discussions take place, but
✓ No decision is taken
✓ The decision is not clear
✓ Decisions are not documented and/or communicated
2) You lead a team and think that a decision was taken, but
✓ After the meeting one or more people contact you to say that they disagree….
✓ In the next meeting the discussions starts all over again….
✓ The decision is not executed/implemented as agreed….
These are all signs that there was an unclear or imperfect decision-making process.
Strong leaders make sure that everyone understands upfront how decisions will be made and guides the team through the decision making process.
If you master the art of decision making, your team will make more progress and deliver better outcomes.
