solution
  • Such an important issue should be placed at the beginning of the agenda.
  • Share and define the criteria for the decision, and their importance: is the value for money or the innovation the most important thing?
  • The modality of the decision has to be adequate for the situation, and defined before the meeting (what happens in a 50:50 scenario?).
  • The team leader accuses the team of not having found the solution on their own, but can't see his share of responsibility in the decision-making process.
