5 around the world most KeysWhile has horror stories about meetings, there are too many examples of meetings that, while not horrible, are far from effective. One of the reasons for these less than stellar experience is that meetings often aren `ta place where decisions are made effectively - or even all the facts.
Meetings, of course, aren `t the only place where decisions can and should be done, but in the context of the meetings is a way of talking about how they can make decisions.
That discussion must begin with the leader. The leader must consciously (better) or unconsciously (too often) to determine how a decision of a particular situation can be achieved. The basic options are:
An independent decision - one made by the leader alone. These decisions may be announced at a meeting, but by definition, don `t need the opinion of others, a meeting isn` t necessary to make them.
A decision by the entry - the leader wants the opinion of others before making the decision, a perfect reason for a meeting.
A collaborative decision - more than a little input on this approach, the group deliberated on the facts and other factors before making a decision.
A consensus decision - a decision that isn `t own leaders making the decision, but really the whole group comes to the collective decision.
Each of these types of decisions, including all nuanced versions of them are valid and valuable in the right situation.
The rest of this article is designed to help you choose the best option for your situation. Your answers to these questions will help you create better and more open decision-making process, and also help create more effective and productive meetings.
But first a warning:
If you have already decided which direction to take, or what course of action to take, do not ask for input.
That damages the trust, time and waste people `s is a dangerous manipulation.
Read in the knowledge that these questions assume decision-making intentions are genuine and not thinking about the manipulation of others.
How fast should this decision?
If the building is on fire, they don `t need to convene a meeting or people` s entry into the best way out. It `s an extreme example, however, some decisions don` t need a ticket or a meeting. In these cases, taking a unilateral decision, communicate effectively and get to work!
Who has the information necessary to make the best decision?
People are people the information that must be consulted, within or outside a meeting. This helps determine not only how you make your decision, but who invite to the meeting. If your entry can be received independently, following a meeting may not be necessary.
Who should be involved in the conversation?
The commitment, entry and ownership that is required is a decision likely to further collaboration is needed. Again, the answer to this question tells you who to invite to the meeting and what to communicate to them about their role in the meeting. If you want your thoughts, help them get to the meeting prepared to give.
How important is the buy-in or commitment to others for the success of the decision?
This is similar to the previous question, but goes beyond it in important ways. How big of a decision is this? How do people `s work and life be impacted? The greater the impact, the greater the impact and in general the higher the decision, the more input you may want people to have. People will buy into the decisions that have been entered more true in them - even if the final decision isn `t that they would have done independently. Yes, more time will be involved, the balance between time and the importance of entry is the major consideration here. Important note - re-read the warning before deciding to make a lot of input. If you have decided. . . don `t go here.
What is the level of trust among team members and the leader?
In short, if trust is high, the more they can make decisions with less input (provided the correct information is considered). At the same time, if trust is low or no participation, will be more difficult. When this is so, as a leader has more to worry about how to make decisions, however, how do they affect the future trust between you and your team.
These five questions will help you make more effective decisions, focusing first on how you will reach the decision, rather than focusing only on the decision itself.
Use these questions as a leader, and then once you're clear, let the team know how to take the decision. Let them know if you want your entry or not, and if so, how they participate in decision making need to be.
Taking these steps will help everyone to be clearer and feel better about the decisions being made.
Oh, and also have more productive meetings.
