Thought: Value of Clarifying Decisions

If one can’t justify their decision in the clearest terms, and since communication has a tendency to get distorted, the people directly or indirectly affected, or those executing the decisions, would either:

• Make mistakes
• Leave the company
• Criticize the judgment
• Criticize the leader
• Become indifferent
• Get confused, causing their productivity to tank

It’s a lose-lose relationship if a leader can’t justify their decisions and answer questions openly.
