Allow significant decisions appropriate time for consultation, deliberation, and consensus-building. Rushed decisions risk poor outcomes, inadequate consultation, and damaged relationships. Patient decision-making produces better outcomes and broader support. Build time for proper process into your expectations and planning.
What appears as delay may be proper deliberation that you should respect. That said, timing also matters—waiting for the right moment to implement can improve outcomes. Not all decisions warrant extended process; judgment involves knowing how much time each decision warrants and using that time well. When speed is genuinely required, acknowledge the departure from ideal process and consider whether deferred consultation or adjustment might address what was missed.
