Hiring is not anybody's decision, right? So we have to at least cut it fine enough so that we can answer the question. Can i deviate from the interview process? Do i have to ask if we can afford it? And then you like, oka, i have this right, but it's augmented by these constraints. And i have enough these limitations. Ok. I have one last question for you. What's the easiest way to make decision making better? Like, the lightest lift step that you could take that would be, like, that improved things? Or even what you think your short list is: where does your head go?
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
