A leader isn’t alone in making decisions. The least effective leaders think that they need to decide all alone without input from their team or idea sharing at all times.
A huge focus on working collaboratively has been a force in the workplace. Working remotely has shown how much collaboration can happen constantly because there is no opportunity for that water cooler moment. This means that meeting after meeting happens continuously.
As a leader, there are times you need to collaborate and other times when you need to be more bold and decide alone.
Following the thought process of to collaborate or not to collaborate is important based on factors such as timing, information availability, deadlines and value of the decision outcome.
This is a skill that isn’t generally taught or mentioned but learned through practical experience. Let me know your thoughts on leadership collaboration; can deciding to collaborate just happen too often?
