It is common in life that decisions are routinely made by a committee, or at least a loose plurality with a common interest. It is our job as members of these groups to participate in the decision-making process by providing ideation effort to derive options, offer pro/con support to the resulting options and, most importantly, put our support into the team decision, even if the choice is not one we supported. Sometimes, egos are a bit bruised when other’s options are selected and it is vital that we are able to get over this let-down and move on with the business at hand as our team members are counting on us to help with the solution.
