Robbie, your post on decision hygiene is incredibly insightful! It reminds me of Annie Duke’s emphasis on structured decision-making and feedback in ‘How to Decide.’ Your ‘1-2-4-All’ method is a fantastic way to ensure all voices are heard, similar to Amazon’s collaborative memo-writing process. Both approaches foster inclusivity and thorough discussion, which are crucial for effective decision-making. I particularly appreciate your focus on countering biases like the anchor bias with blind voting. These strategies are essential for creating a fair and balanced decision-making environment.
However, methods like blind voting and structured decision-making can sometimes face pushback. People might feel uncomfortable with change, fear losing influence, or be skeptical about the effectiveness of these new approaches. Despite these concerns, the benefits are clear. They help create a more inclusive environment where all voices are heard, and decisions are made more fairly. Amazon’s practice of pre-reading memos before discussions is a great example of how structured processes can lead to more informed and balanced decision-making.
What challenges have you faced when trying to implement these decision hygiene practices in your own teams, and how have you addressed them?
