Description
If you're the only one making decisions in your team, it might be time to share the load.
This bite-size course shows you how to involve your team in decisions without losing time or control. You'll learn what changes when a group decides together: more preparation, a little more time and the need to manage healthy disagreement.
We look at what makes a decision sound, from gut instinct to data, information and knowledge, and how to test whether a source is credible or biased. You'll learn to spot five common traps: anchoring, the status quo, sunk costs, looking only for evidence that agrees with you and groupthink (when the wish to agree beats honest debate).
You'll also use the ladder of inference, a simple model for checking the assumptions you make about people before you act on them.
Today teams make more decisions in chat threads and online meetings, often quickly and with whoever happens to be online. That makes clear ground rules, real debate and checking assumptions more important, not less.
Each lecture is short and focused, so you can learn one idea tonight and use it at work tomorrow. You'll finish with a simple process to use at your next team meeting.
Who this course is for:
Team leaders who feel they make every decision alone
Managers who want more ownership and better ideas from their team
Anyone who runs meetings where the loudest voice tends to win
