What Happens When You Don’t Like the Decision They Made? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Delegating a decision is one thing. Living with a decision you would not have made yourself is another. In this episode of Mind to Impact , Bill O’Connor looks at one of the hardest tests of real decision ownership: what happens after someone uses the authority you gave them and chooses a different path. The issue is not whether every decision matches your preference. It is whether the decision stayed within the agreed boundaries, met the standard, and produced an acceptable outcome. When it did
When a Decision No Longer Belongs to You (opens the original)

Was an important boundary missing? Was the escalation p
How to Correct Without Taking Control Back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Giving someone authority is only the beginning. The real test comes when that person makes a decision differently than you would have—or when the outcome is not acceptable. In this episode, Bill O’Connor explains how to review and correct a decision without automatically bringing it back under the owner’s control.
