Why

Speed as a habit - if this is something you want to adopt you need to have a good structure around decision-making.

As we grow as a company, we won’t have access to the founders directly. Decision making begins to get delegated, and the transition of 10 to 50, 100, or more the process of understanding how decisions are made can be slow and painful

If people don’t understand the process for decisions, especially big ones that impact all people then it erodes trust.

What

People need to understand the system in which they are operating. They need to understand the full spectrum of what’s going on as much as possible so they can weigh the pros and cons and see how their decision fits into the whole.

Which principles do we want to use when it comes to making decisions in our team.

2-door decisions.

Where do you as a company allocate decision-making capabilities?

• 1 door decision: A decision you cannot walk back on
• 2 door decision: A decision you can make, and then unmake if required.

Sometimes no decision is as bad as no decision.
