Get clear about roles in Decision Making

Effective decision making is absolutely essential to an organization's ability to survive. That means decisions need to be made relatively quickly and with the right information available at the time. Yet, unclear 'decision rights' may be the single most common problem organizations face, especially in growing startups and companies that value collaboration. Common symptoms include meeting overload, slow productivity, low engagement and interpersonal tensions. While defining clear roles and decision making authority may feel uncomfortable at first, it is critical to scaling, maintaining market value, and keeping your best people engaged and employed.
