Back in January, I informed readers I enjoyed looking through this Slide Share (in particular point 15 which is to be the Evangelist for Courage) which outlines the book Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley’s Bill Campbell by Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle.

In February, I posted a bit about Ray Dalio and his TED talk on decision making. See below for more information.

I’d like to go back to the Slide Share to discuss point 5 in which Campbell discusses decision making.

According to Campbell the manager ought to make sure that all perspectives get a hearing and due consideration in the decision making process that they are leading. However, the manager must be prepared to break through an impasse and make the decision.

I like the title of this slide, which is Best Idea, Not Consensus. So if managers need to make a decision when they come to a fork in the road, the best idea will win.
