Collaborative Decision-Making: The Positives and Pitfalls
For thousands of years, hierarchical management styles reigned unchallenged. Then, early in the 20th century, a literate and often highly-educated workforce emerged. They were no longer content with the top-down management of traditional organizational structures. They wanted a voice in decisions.
This led to the first experiments with collaborative management styles. Very quickly, this new approach created impressive results in engagement, creativity, motivation, and morale. As a result, collaborative management styles have grown steadily in popularity for more than a century.
Yet, for all of its benefits, making decisions collaboratively does hold the threat of some distinct pitfalls. This podcast identifies five of them and highlights what managers must do to avoid them.
