The emotions that erupt from change are pivotal to assessing risk

Taking a risk --admitting when something goes wrong or making the decision to change-- isn't easy. The weight of responsibility often causes stress on the group seeking resolution. Complicating any issue concerning risk is that problem solving requires change, and with change comes emotion.

Learn to harness the emotions of a diverse group.

Avoid complacency and incite passion in both problem-solving and decision-making. Don't let your team unravel, break the barriers of silos and prevent discord from driving wedges between team members.

A decision made at 8 a.m. can easily become the wrong decision by 4 p.m in today's rapidly changing business environment. The investments in time, money and effort that go into arriving at a decision are often incalculable. Can you afford bad decisions?

The strength of today's teams is diversity.

Do your team members embrace diversity or battle different opinions?

Highly skilled technical experts such as scientists, researchers, engineers, and physicians are trained to think independently, to evaluate by a logical process, and to call on a wealth of knowledge in their field. The reality is that two knowledgeable people can become entrenched in opposition. Independent thinking can lead to protective barriers that prevent discussion and compromise.

A decision reflects its source.

The quality and diversity of opinions and perspectives evaluated contribute to the quality and flexibilty of the decision. Decisions are the goals selected in an effort to try to solve problems. To achieve consensus and reach practical decisions with far-reaching consequences, members must learn to express their opinions to an unknown, uninterested and possibly hostile audience.

Compare your case to others!
