Yeah this only works for decisions you are basically allowed to make yourself.

  The key insight is that the concept of “allowed” is flawed. Most of us are responsible for outcomes, not actions. If you communicate well that an action is necessary for the outcome you are responsible for, that’s enough. Obviously with notice, and with a genuine effort to get acknowledgement, but ultimately it’s not about what you’re allowed to do, it’s about what you’re expected to achieve. Now, if you’re wrong, or capricious, or disingenuous… well all bets are off. But done responsibly this is a completely appropriate and defensible approach.
