The shift from execution to decision-making is so important. Most people have never been trained how to make good decisions (especially under immense pressure) in the first place. And everyone's now experiencing more volume, more complexity and more speed than ever before, which makes the decision even harder to make. The most important thing we can do is learn how to make decisions from a clear, regulated place. And our ability to do that is just going to become more and more important as our world continues to technologically progress.

I wonder why having decision rule clarity is so uncommon, while at the same time the leadership adage is ofter: "clear is kind".
The product I've built - https://growthwise.team/ - scans for four explicitly named decision rules are:
1. Unanimous agreement
2. Majority vote
3. Person-in-charge decides after discussion
4. Delegation
