We really are quite limited in gen pop about the how, right? Like gen pop is just like i say, yes or no. That's taowe de ope of decision science to day. And and that puts so much pressure on the individual to get it right. It assumes that one person can know and thet it assumes that that person is going to, in a probably binary way, say yes or no,. which, incidentally, is why i believe we get so many delays in decision making and why every team on earth is like bottle necks in decision making.
A big frustration we often encounter in our work concerns decision-making. Folks feel like their process is too slow; too fast; includes the wrong people; excludes the right people; is too big; is too small. No matter the specific organizational headaches, the headline basically stays the same: “We know this isn’t working but we can’t fix the problem.”
In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans take a deep dive into decision-making indecision, exploring:
- The impediments that tend to block good decision-making
- The “problems” traditional, top-down decision-making processes are designed to deal with
- The myths we tell ourselves about who can decide what and when
- The difference between being non-directive and being indecisive
- The simplest moves teams can make to up their decision-making game
