Decisions in isolation

Decisions made in isolation are often wrong. I’ve been told on occasion that I don’t give enough information and that I’m too optimistic. Both are a fair call and I’ve tried to address those in what I do. It’s good to have feed back because changes cannot be made in an insular environment.

The same rules apply when trying to effect change in a team environment. A team needs to be able to look at the practices and process that are being used and be able to critique them, it’s a vital skill to learn. When decisions are made without input from the team and then forced on them its bound to fail. I realize that not all decisions can be voted on and that someone has to make the decision but that decision needs to be made with all the information.

When making decision make sure that you have ALL the information that you can get.
