Slide 4 Polling Question #1
The majority of important decisions for my team are made:
Authoritatively
Collaboratively

Slide 5
Where the situation is complex,
consequences are significant, commitment
and buy-in are important, and where team
members can work together maturely,
team decision making is often best.

Slide 6 While many of the decisions we
make on a daily basis are quite
simple, some are not.

Slide 7 These decisions may involve assimilating a
huge amount of information, exploring many
different ideas, and drawing on many
strands of experience.

yourself?

Slide 10
There's a limit to how much information any
one individual can process, and a limit on
how many perspectives one person can see.

Many decisions need full group participation to
explore the situation, provide input, and make a
final choice.

Groups can often make better decisions than any
one person operating on his or her own.

Slide 19
Many decisions need "buy-in" from the
people affected by them if they're to be
implemented successfully, and it's hard to
get this buy-in if people haven't been
involved in the decision-making process.

Slide 20 The Challenge of Team Decisions
As the saying goes, if you put three people
together in a room, you'll often get four
opinions. People can often see issues
differently – and they all have different
experiences, values, personalities, styles,
and needs. Team decision-making
strategies should therefore be used when
you want to get participation and achieve
consensus.

Slide 21 When time is of the essence, a good
decision is one that's made quickly.
That doesn't usually happen with full
team decision making.

Slide 22 When one or two people have the
necessary expertise to make the
decision, it doesn't make sense to
involve the whole team
___________________________________
___________________________________

___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
Slide 23 The challenge is that when you bring other people
into the decision-making process, you need to
approach decisions differently.

Slide 24 These approaches vary, depending on
a number of different factors, including:
• The type of decision
• The time and resources available
• The nature of the task being worked on
• The environment the group wants to
create
• The amount of buy-in needed

Slide 38
With consensus, there's often compromise.
Not everyone gets everything they want
out of the final decision. However,
because everyone has fair input, the
decisions reached are often ones that all
can live with.

Slide 39 Ensuring Participation
A consensus decision depends on hearing
everyone's opinion. In a team situation,
that doesn't always happen naturally:
assertive people can tend to get the most
attention. Less assertive team members
can often feel intimidated and don't always
speak up, particularly when their ideas are
very different from the popular view.

Slide 43 Closing Thoughts
Team decision-making is often time-
consuming, meaning that it makes sense
to prepare for it properly. Before you
organize full team participation, make sure
that it's appropriate, and that you have the
necessary time and resources for it.

Slide 44 Closing Thoughts
Teams can often commit more
enthusiastically to decisions reached
through consensus. Using a variety of
techniques, you can achieve this in such a
way that everyone has a chance to
contribute to the final result.
