Nothing has ever succeeded in top-down decision making

I would like to introduce an example.....

I suppose nothing has ever succeeded in top-down decision making.

decision making top-down bottom-up an example
speed fast slow
open-call process skipped gathering widespread opinion
temporary reservation about one week

I understand that top-down work is fast.

The project will progress quickly if the open-call process is largely skipped.

However, in that case, the risk that the project will start cannot be denied regardless of the top qualities and the presence of a support system.

So I affirm that top-down decision making is not a wise choice.

On the contrary, what about a bottom-up system?

This method of gathering widespread opinion is compatible with the principle of majority voting and minimizes dissent.

However, this method also has a fatal flaw. That is, the project execution speed is extremely slow.

I would like to introduce an example.

Once a plan is envisioned, document it first.

Then circulate the document to everyone involved.

It’s a step called temporary reservation.

The reservation period was about one week. The plan is cancelled if someone makes a strong disagreement within that period.

If you can’t see the opposition, the plan is go.

Of course, following these steps would waste at least a week.

But isn’t this the best solution?

That’s all for today’s post. Thank you
