Yeah, but it's about avoiding blame, not making the right decision.
Unfortunately good decision making is a rare skill, and management is a common profession, so stuff like this will continue to happen.
Note that the prerequisite for making good decisions is the space in which to make a bunch of decisions, some of which will inevitably be bad, so without a cultural acceptance of potential failure and the right attitude towards it, things will never improve.
- tchalla 6y agoI have noticed that labelling decisions as binary (right vs wrong, good vs bad) tends to create factions. I recommend turning decisions from binary into options/implications. A "bad" decision is an option with an implication assigned to it. If stakeholders are willing to agree with the implications, that's how it is.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoYeah, that's a problem. I kinda meant from the perspective of the person who made the decision in the future (i.e. normally me).
