The Making of a Manager

What to Do When Everyone Looks to You

Julie Zhuo

In a decision meeting, you’re framing the different options on the table and asking a decision-maker to make a call. Success here is both getting to a clear decision and everyone leaving with a sense of trust in the process. You don’t need consensus, but those whom the decision affects should feel that the way it was made was efficient and fair. If people don’t trust the process, you’ll find that the decision drags on.
