# 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!

**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?
