With consult this is very collaborative, but you have to mean it, right? So if you're going to make a decision based on a group thing or within your family, you have to really want the opinions of the other person. This is a decision type, remember that we don't do every single day, but sometimes as leaders we need to make these tough decisions.

So that's a first step of decision which is command. Is there a component of that decision where you think that you need to flexible and a little bit reasonable? With command though, I would encourage you to have some areas where you may be a little bit flexible.

Offer them the courtesy to explain to them why you've already made that decision, and why you're not necessarily open to a discussion on it. It's important to not act as if you want somebody else's opinion if you've already made the decision. We're not gonna do these kind of decisions every day, but very rarely when it's corporate. Not everyone is going to agree with your decision, necessarily, but it has to be done. Use this when you have a tight deadline, when you know ultimately that the decision that you have to make is gonna be a hard one. Right, don't go around commanding your family, your teams, your friends to do what they have to do. But there's sometimes that there is those circumstances as leaders that we just have to make a decision and when we have to make that decision it is called command.Ī couple of things to take into consideration if you're going to make a command decision:ĭo not pass these out like candy. You have to be really careful with command though, because sometimes it can come off too authoritative - It can come off too demanding. So what is command? Command is a decision that you make without involving others. And if you wanna follow with me, this is actually starting on page 180 of the book. So the first one is going to be on command.
