Module 3
Decisions and decision rights: who decides what, and how well
Teams of lawyers are famous for two failures in decision-making that look opposite and have the same cause. Some drift for months over small decisions that everyone must agree to, because nobody is sure who may decide. Others see a single partner decide everything, because no one else has been given the authority, and then wonder why the team is passive. Both come from unclear decision rights. This module teaches how to sort decisions by importance and reversibility, how to choose how to decide each, how to make decision rights clear with a simple chart (the Decision Rights Builder lets you practise), how governance in a partnership can enable or block decisions, which biases distort judgement and two habits that improve it: the pre-mortem and the decision log.
