Leadership is not simply about making decisions. It is also about knowing who should be trusted to make them. As organisations grow, leaders cannot, and should not, make every decision themselves. They need people around them who can exercise sound judgement, accept responsibility and act in the wider interests of the organisation.
The article discusses the importance of choosing the right decision makers within an organization as it grows and cannot be run by a single leader. It emphasizes that leaders should look for individuals who possess qualities such as judgement, emotional maturity, accountability, and perspective. Judgement involves assessing available information, recognizing uncertainty, and making reasoned choices while acknowledging one's limitations.
Behaviour under pressure, accountability, and the ability to listen are also highlighted as crucial qualities. Additionally, integrity and distinguishing between decisiveness and recklessness are mentioned as factors to consider when selecting decision makers.
