Dunlap argues that executives need to take a stand and be true to their beliefs. I think because in consensus you re mitigating to less than the best decision. Everyone has something to say. I think what you have to do, you have to listen to what everyone has to say, but then you ve got to make a decision, and that s called leadership. Someone has to stand up and be accountable for the final decision.
Someone has to take responsibility.
Someone has to be willing to make the decision. And a lot of people don t want to do that. They ll say, Well, this is the decision and we all made it. Therefore, no one s accountable. No one can be wrong.
