ME - Decisions you take as an individual & role owner
Which decisions:
Decisions that are reversible and have little consequences
Decisions that are clearly linked to one (or multiple) roles you hold as an individual
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
There is different kind of decisions you are invited to take as an individual which we can broadly cluster in 2 categories:
Low scale - every day decisions
Role-centered decisions
Type & advice
Decisions that are safe to fail, without a major impact on whole oikos
Decisions that require your individual agency
Move ahead & go for it as an individual! This is what can make our work more efficient
Make sure to communicate your decisions properly in any case!
Decisions that are directly & mainly linked to a certain role, without a wider impact on your circle
Decisions in this field might be delegated to you from other people
Of course you can/should ask for advice, but you are the owner & executor of the decision
Examples
buying a Metro ticket during a strategy meeting or
deciding on the color of the flower we buy for the spring-meeting host
Deciding on the weekdays you want to work
Role in marketing/social media: deciding on the color of a poster or the social media planning for the following weeks
Writing a follow-up email with a partner you’re responsible for. You’re the expert & as the matter does not have critical consequences on the long term, you can decide on your own
What you should ask yourself:
Is it safe enough to try & move on?
Are there any critical consequences that might come out of this process?
Who else might have relevant information for me?
Are there any objections I haven’t acknowledged?
