Top Blog Comment Of The Week – Great Decision Making
I copied and pasted this from a blog comment this past week. Sadly, I neglected to retain the source blog and the identity of the poster. This will be done better with future Top Blog Comments.
Great Decision Making
For great decision making, I always suggest my mentor, Will Schutz’ rule of inclusion: have the people who know (the ones that have the info and savvy needed for the task and the people who care (the ones that will be affected by the decision, have to carry it out or will be involved at some point of the process).
Every time you do that, your decisions are better and your implementation is quicker. Just remember that you are also a resource, so listen to yourself as well, especially if you know and/or care about the issue at hand.
Who is/was Will Schultz?
Will Schutz was a psychologist who developed the FIRO instruments still used today for interpersonal training and development. He was a big part of the human potential movement beginning in the 1960s. His book, Joy: Expanding Human Awareness was a huge seller. His contribution to organizations was as a result of his work with small group development (T-groups) which, for quite a well, became a model for openness and honesty in teams.
