Ö   Decisions that seem to change so often that no one believes they are meaningful

Ö   Confusion about who has the final say - team consensus or leadership directive

Ö   Repeated reworking of decisions that fail during implementation

Ö   Conflicts between the need for thorough, well researched decision making AND the need for clear, concise quick decisions in       teams

+  Clear delineations for team-based, leader enhanced, decision making in work teams

+   Accelerated team performance and productivity

+   Decrease in costs associated with faulty or stalled decisions

+   Best of both worlds: balance between quick, clear action, and thoughtful planning

1. Describe a situational decision making model and determine the best approach for critical decisions
2. Discuss the four best options for combining leadership perspectives and autonomy with team input and recommendations
3. Create team agreements that support decisions once they are made, AND respond to changing environmental factors during implementation
4. Build team processes to increase the quantity and quality of member input upfront to minimize rework
