Decision-Making in Autonomous Teams
Why do we need this?
One of the most difficult aspects of a leader’s role is striking the right balance between giving direction and encouraging teams to make decisions independently. While experience may suggest that a particular approach is likely to be the most effective, it’s unlikely to be successful unless the team commits to it. There’s also a chance that better solutions exist, and given the right environment, teams will often discover these for themselves. Building that environment and providing their teams with just enough direction is where a leader really adds value.
