There are two major methodologies for decision making - the authoritarian style and the group method. In the authoritarian method – the executive makes the decision and explains the decision to the group to gain their acceptance. In some studies, the time breakdown for a typical operating decision is somewhat like this: Making decisions- 5 minutes, Explaining the decision - 30 minutes, and Gaining acceptance - 30 minutes. Total 65 minutes. In the Group method – the group shares ideas do the analysis and agree upon a decision to implement. Studies show that the group often has values, feelings, and reactions quite different from those the manager supposes they have. Interestingly, the time breakdown in this method is somewhat like this: Group making decision - 30 minutes, Explaining the decision - 0 minutes, Gaining acceptance - 0 minutes. Total 30 minutes.
Clearly, group decision making is better from an efficiency standpoint. Moreover, it is well known that people prefer to implement the ideas they think of. They will work harder and more energetically to implement their idea than they would implement an idea imposed on them by others.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Let me know in the comments section.
In this ongoing series #GreatMinds on my blog, I am shining a spotlight on the important ideas that some very successful people keep talking about in their public life.

Want to learn some easy ways for busy moms to involve the whole family in helping to save our environment? Wondering why you should care about environmental sustainability in the first place? Or how to talk to your kids about climate change without scaring them? In this episode of Brainy Moms, Teri and I interview science writer and environmental activist Shannon Brescher Shea. Shannon is the author of the book Growing Sustainable Together: Practical Resources for Raising Kind, Engaged, Resilient Children. We talkabout her life's work in environmental activism, her passion for helping parents train up a generation of kids who care about our world, and practical ways to fit green living in with our hectic, modern lifestyles.

Oleh: M Rizal Fadillah (Pemerhati Politik dan Kebangsaan) MediaBantenCyber.co.id- (MBC) Bandung, Rakyat ditipu Wakil Rakyat diperkosa, kok bisa? Bisa, jika rencana penggunaan dana APBN untuk proyek Kereta Cepat Jakarta - Bandung direalisasi. Disain untuk ini diawali dengan menunjuk "Duta Besar China" Luhut Binsar Panjaitan sebagai Ketua Komite Kereta Cepat Jakarta - Bandung menggeser peran Koordinator Airlangga Hartarto.
Mengapa rakyat ditipu? Karena sejak awal Presiden Jokowi mengkampanyekan bahwa proyek ini tidak sedikitpun akan didanai dari APBN tetapi dari obligasi konsorsium BUMN atau patungan. Investasi China adalah utama dengan skema kerjasama Business to Business (B to B). Akan tetapi setelah berjalan pembangunan dan mangkrak tiba-tiba terbit Perpres No 93 tahun 2021 yang membolehkan penggunaan dana APBN.
Kejutan sekaligus melestarikan kebiasaan bohong Presiden ini adalah beban baru bagi negara. APBN harus mendapat persetujuan DPR. Meskipun DPR dapat menolak, akan tetapi akibat dari kooptasi Presiden atas Partai Politik maka persetujuan diperkirakan mudah untuk didapat. DPR dapat dipaksa karena anggota tidak berdaya. Perkosaan politik dilakukan dengan leluasa.
Dengan alasan "daripada rugi" dan ," gagal proyek" maka akhirnya dana APBN diduga terpaksa terkucurkan untuk menolong kebodohan. Biaya anggaran awal ditetapkan sebesar 86,5 Triliun membengkak menjadi 114,2 Triliun. Alasan pandemi atas mangkrak dan meningkatnya anggaran tidak mudah untuk diterima, audit harus dilakukan. Janji Kementrian BUMN bahwa dana APBN tidak akan diselewengkan butuh pembuktian.
Sejak awal proyek ambisius Jokowi ini telah menimbulkan pro dan kontra. Kerjasama dengan China untuk kereta cepat jarak dekat dipertanyakan. Asumsi sukses diragukan. Apa yang terjadi jika nanti penumpang ternyata sepi. Analis memperkirakan selama 40 tahun PT KAI sebagai lokomotif perusahaan patungan akan merugi. Memang tidak habis pikir, kereta cepat dari Ibukota ke Bandung ini dibuat untuk kemudian Ibukota pindah ke Kalimantan.
Nah, pembiayaan Ibukota baru yang konon menggunakan dana "kecil" APBN dipastikan bohong kembali. Kereta China yang awal hanya 86,5 Triliun saja amblas apalagi Ibu Kota baru dengan anggaran sekitar 500 Triliun. Di tengah dana negara yang cekak dan hutang menumpuk.
Presiden Jokowi tidak boleh berspekulasi dalam proyek-proyek infrastruktur. Ambisi pribadi jangan didahulukan, apalagi dengan menipu rakyat dan memperkosa wakil rakyat. Untuk hal kecil saja seperti penjualan tol Cibitung Cilincing yang hanya 2,4 Triliun membuat kerut dahi, padahal biaya konstruksi yang telah dikeluarkan adalah 10,8 Triliun. Rugi 8,4 Triliun. Jokowi memang jenius.
Proyek Kereta Cepat di bawah pengelolaan PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) bukan solusi tetapi beban. Pemerintahan Jokowi harus bertanggungjawab. Jika ternyata gagal bukan saja harus turun tetapi juga dihukum.(BTL)

I'd seen this book floating around bookstores and intended to put it on my library list, but never seemed to do it, mostly because of the length of it. Riley Can't Stop Crying is a creative and tender story about family, gender identity, and emotions. It is told from the perspective of an older sister, struggling to understand why her little brother seems so upset all the time. She realizes after many chats, creative endeavors and adventures with Riley, that it is a frustration with feeling uncomfortable in his own skin that is hurting him.
I found the book very moving, although I admit I feel unsure what age group to recommend this to. Orca Books recommends ages 6-8, and it has a lot of text for a picture book. The main character is incredibly self-aware and questions things with such maturity, while spoken with an innocence. Her heart for Riley is just incredible - in fact, that sibling bond is really what had me tearing up, as she tries again and again to help her sibling feel comfortable as themself. That does really make it her story though--not Riley's--which I also have been thinking a lot.
The art in this book, by Agathe Bray-Bourret, is fun and cartoony and vivid.
