Most business environments, and even some volunteer organizations I've been
in, follow this procedure for issues.
"Here's the problem" says CEO, "go discuss and bring me a solution"
Then the 'peons' go off, discuss, cajole, philosophize and generally try to
work out something, using circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of
each one explaining themselves... and work out a 'Ding!' (solution)
"Here you go Mr CEO. It's a solution and we think it'll work"
THe CEO has the perrogative to take or regect or modify said solution,
'cause that's why they get paid the big bucks ;)
If the solution needs fine tuning, or re-examination in the future, throw it
back to the roundtable.
Hopefully, when the roundtable is off discussing, they can handle things
well enuf not to need guidance or input or babysitting from the big wig, but
that remains to be seen ;)
There was a quotation form the West Wing a few weeks back that hopefully
cover my last point in this idea:
Donna didn't want to go do Jury Duty for whatever reason. Josh stopped her
at the end of the ep. and said 'Do it (jury duty), or don't do it, but if
you don't do it, you can't complain about the OJ Simpson Verdict'
What he was alluding to is that if you don't help in solving the problems,
you can't whine about the results. Not saying everyone needs to voice their
2 coppers at the Roundtable about every single issue, but if something comes
up, and is resolved in the roundtable manner, and you didn't add to the
discussion cause you're sick of the same ol' people 'throwing their weight
around' in the discussion, then you really don't have a right to complain
about the resultant solution. Everyone's voice *is* important, and voicing
it at the proper time, and the proper location and in a proper manner, is
what should happen.
Anywho, I'm still riding on a cloud of air in regards to Suz replying to one
of my posts :)
