2.8 Team Decision Making

Question 1

Three common decision making methods

Answer 1

Unilateral (one sole decision-maker):
- Authoritative is when the decision defers to authority and
- Consultative is when the authority engages experts for information, and then decides independently

Majority Vote: Team members vote and 51% make the decision

Consensus: An agreement among team members is reached after divergent views are addressed and resolved to move forward with one supported solution
