Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, we are on the topic of decision making or decision analysis based on the Shura method.
So let's see first of all, what is the Shura method?
As we said, Shura is mutual consultation or decision making by consultation.
Now, there is a method to do that.
And the method is that the people who are all the stakeholders for that decision must be part of the Shura.
Shura is the name given to the group which is going to sit together to make the decision.
So all stakeholders should be part of the Shura.
This is a mistake which many times people make.
And it's a very fundamental mistake.
And that mistake is an absolutely killer for the decision.
Because if a stakeholder, if a key stakeholder is missing, then that decision to get it implemented will be practically impossible.
So to take them all into confidence.
To have them all part of the decision making group, part of the Shura is absolutely critical.
The reason why some people get missed out, one of the major reasons is because of the fear of disagreement.
So you would have somebody, one member of the family or group or whatever it is, who is contrary, who is argumentative and all that.
And people like to keep it.
And people like to keep it.
And people like to keep it.
And people like to keep it.
And people like to keep it.
And people like to keep it.
So they exclude them either consciously or unconsciously.
And this person gets left out.
And then obviously there is hell to pay because nothing will happen.
Nothing will move.
That person will make sure that everything gets sabotaged.
So it is very important to make sure that all key stakeholders are part of the decision making group, part of the Shura.
No matter whether you like them, you don't like them, they are agreeable, disagreeable, whatnot, doesn't matter.
make sure they are part of the decision making group.
Second thing is that when the meeting starts, people who are in that group, they must go
there with a certain mindset.
And that's why I said begin by throwing your ego into the garbage bin outside the room.
So when you go inside there, go with the intention of keeping the primacy of the reason why you
are coming together.
So why are you coming together?
I'm going to be coming together in order to solve this problem.
And we are coming together in order to come to a decision about this issue.
You're not getting there to prove who's right or who's wrong.
You're not going in there to win an argument.
You're not going in there to show who is smart and who is not smart and who is, you know,
whatever, right?
It's not a personal competition.
It's not a boxing ring.
You're going in there collectively to solve a problem.
So it is not me versus you.
It is me and me and me and me and me versus the problem, versus the decision.
That's a very important mindset.
And these things don't happen automatically.
You have to be conscious about it and you have to think about it carefully and consciously
take that decision.
I'm going in here with one goal and which is to arrive at a solution.
Okay.
I'm not going in there to prove that I was always right, that I should be right.
I should be, I should be obeyed.
My idea should be taken.
The other guy is wrong.
None of that.
Only goal is how do you solve this problem?
Everyone together.
It is not me versus you.
It is all of us versus the problem.
So that's the mindset you need to go in there with.
Then it is important in the Sura system to select what is called a Faisal.
Okay.
So, let's go.
Okay.
There is one thing that we need to do.
We need to decide what to do.
We need to decide which is the best option, which is the best way to do it.
We need to choose a leader for the group.
If there is no leader, then there is chaos.
The job of the leader is to lead that discussion and finally to announce the decision to which
the leader has come.
So appoint a leader.
Obviously appoint the person who is most knowledgeable, the person who is ...
