Involving staff in decision making
No single decision-making process fits every scenario. Decide the degree to which your team should participate in the decision-making process. Apply any of the following approach as appropriate to the business issue (i.e. not your preference). 1) Decide: make the decision and solves the problem before announcing their decision to the group. Gather information from the rest of the team thereafter, if needed. 2) Consult one by one: approach each team member individually and present them with the problem. Take note of their suggestions than make the decision. 3) Consult by group: hold a group meeting to present the problem to everyone in attendance. Each team member should pitch suggestions, use those at your discretion. Avoid any group decision, unless really long time available for reaching consensus.
