# ME - Decisions you take as an individual & role owner

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Which decisions: <a href="#x6qimst95anp" id="x6qimst95anp"></a>

* Decisions that are reversible and have little consequences
* Decisions that are clearly linked to one (or multiple) roles you hold as an individual&#x20;

**Who decides:** The one who carries out the decision process, based on consent

**Who’s involved**: Mainly the decider & anyone who is consulted for advice
{% endhint %}

There is different kind of decisions you are invited to take as an individual which we can broadly cluster in 2 categories:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="122"></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td></td><td><strong>Low scale - every day decisions</strong></td><td><strong>Role-centered decisions</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Type &#x26; advice</td><td><ul><li>Decisions that are safe to fail, without a major impact on whole oikos</li><li>Decisions that require your individual agency</li><li><mark style="color:orange;">Move ahead &#x26; go for it as an individual! This is what can make our work more efficient</mark></li><li><mark style="color:orange;">Make sure to communicate your decisions properly in any case!</mark></li></ul></td><td><ul><li>Decisions that are directly &#x26; mainly linked to a certain role, without a wider impact on your circle</li><li>Decisions in this field might be delegated to you from other people</li><li><mark style="color:orange;">Of course you can/should ask for advice, but you are the owner &#x26; executor of the decision</mark></li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Examples</td><td><ul><li>buying a Metro ticket during a strategy meeting or</li><li>deciding on the color of the flower we buy for the spring-meeting host</li><li>Deciding on the weekdays you want to work</li></ul></td><td><ul><li>Role in marketing/social media: deciding on the color of a poster or the social media planning for the following weeks</li><li>Writing a follow-up email with a partner you’re responsible for. You’re the expert &#x26; as the matter does not have critical consequences on the long term, you can decide on your own</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="success" %}
**What you should ask yourself:**&#x20;

* Is it safe enough to try & move on?&#x20;
* Are there any critical consequences that might come out of this process?&#x20;
* Who else might have relevant information for me?&#x20;
* Are there any objections I haven’t acknowledged?

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.oikos-international.org/oi-user-guides/-MhyYb9hfI-Kkxr_150f/working-at-oikos/how-we-take-decisions/4-decision-making-stairs/me-decisions-you-take-as-an-individual-and-role-owner.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
