I’ve been working with a number of teams lately who seem to struggle with decision-making. A couple of frequent complaints include:
- “Decision-making takes too long. We’re trying to make decisions by consensus but we just never get anywhere.”
- “It doesn’t matter what we say, the manager/leader always makes the decision.”
- “We make a decision but then we just revisit it at the next meeting.”
If these protests sound familiar, you are not alone. It is quite common for teams to have difficulty with decision-making.
