Decision Making & Workplace Meetings — Eleven Tips From The Book “How Google Works”
In workplace meetings, arriving at the right decision and also on time is critical. The quality of the decisions determines the success of the business/company/career. Bad decisions can result in irreversible damages.
Let’s see what we can learn from “How Google Works” about Making Decisions in Workplace Meetings.

Jonathan Rosenberg and Eric Schmidt write, “If you blow up any of those critical elements, then the outcome will likely be negative. And since, there’s always another decision to be made, the impact of a poorly executed decision-making process can reverberate past that one issue.”
