Employing Differences, Episode 283: Can you decide?
Update: 2025-10-14
Description
"Just because I am a hundred percent willing to hand it off and a hundred percent confident in their ability to make it, doesn't mean that it's something they're willing to do."
Karen & Paul share the complexities of delegating decisions in collaborative environments. They explore the dual aspect of the question 'Can you decide?'—considering both the capacity and willingness of the person being asked. Key topics include the importance of setting clear parameters, anticipating possible outcomes, and managing the impact of potentially suboptimal decisions on relationships. They emphasize the need for trust, competence, and effective repair strategies when things go wrong.
