Making decisions reality at work or getting a decision implemented by others to achieve a desired result - is far harder than making the decision itself. Improve decision buy-in from your boss, your team, and others, to make the implementation of decisions quicker, easier, and more successful.

I share the steps and tactics I use in persuading others to buy-in to the decisions made and work to make them a reality.

Being persuasive with team members is essential to be an effective and good manager. There are so many decisions made by others that you have to work with your team to put into practice. 

Gaining buy-in at work, particularly with those implementing difficult decisions or complex decisions,  is essential to make those decisions effective and get implemented. There are four useful decision making routes I suggest you use when making decisions which help with decision implementation. 

These are:

1.      Unilateral

2.      Consult and decide

3.      Build consensus

4.      Unanimous 

I explain exactly how to use each route when making decisions at work. Matching the route to the decision type is a key skill to get decisions implemented quickly and successfully. 

To persuade others quickly and effectively, I use a 5 step process to plan how I am going to gain decision buy-in commitment. These steps are:

1.      Who are the influencers

2.      Understand their position

3.      Work out the impact

4.      Explain the benefits

5.      Gain the right support level

I go through how I use each step to gain commitment and make decisions a reality at work. 

Finally, I use a ReCODE model for communicating decisions and recommendation to get buy-in and the action I need from bosses, team members and other stakeholders.

When making decisions, always think about the quickest route to getting the result you need rather than the quickest way to make a decision.
