We make decisions every day, all day. At work, how do we make tough decisions, and not be a jerk even when it may not be a popular decision? When is it suitable to rely on consensus, majority or dictating the decision yourself? This week, we share our experiences with these challenging situations and talk about some approaches that may make them a bit less complex. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Be aware of the difference between people liking you and respecting your decision. 
• Think about the scope of the decision before you decide to invite the whole company, or several people, anyway, to participate in making a decision.
• Trust your expert teammates! If you aren’t the expert in an area that you need to make a decision, collaborate with the person who is. (Yes, we know that sort of conflicts with the previous takeaway!)
