Importance of Pre-Meeting Alignment for Effective Decision-Making
Prior to significant meetings, it is crucial to build alignment among all involved parties to streamline decision-making processes. The aim of such meetings should not be to debate decisions but rather to ensure everyone is on the same page, acting as a rubber stamp for alignment. It is the responsibility of the idea champion to circulate the idea extensively, gather feedback, and ensure unanimous agreement for a well-supported and solid idea.
