What perfect timing! Having posted an entry about manager-tools yesterday, I downloaded the latest episode this morning and found that the entire podcast was based around the "Effective Executive" (which I covered a few weeks ago - see here) and in particular, the fundamentals of effective decision making. Basically, they central premise of the podcast is a statement made by Drucker:
"No decision has been made unless carrying it out in specific steps has become someone’s work assignment and responsibility. Until then there are only good intentions."
They then map this statement to the effective meeting protocol and especially to the need to action decisions directly in meetings if you really want them to happen; utterly trivial, known by everybody and ignored 95% of the time.
Brilliant.
