Have you ever been in a meeting where you were supposed to make a decision, but a group consensus was impossible, so the meeting just ended up being a total waste of time because no decision was actually made? Surprisingly, that's not indicative of a communication problem. It's actually considered a decision-rights problem. Luckily, it's also something that can be fairly easily fixed if people just follow the rules.In this episode, I get into a July 2026 Harvard Business Review study, “What Companies Get Wrong About Decision Rights,” by Lindy Greer, Jennifer Jordan, and Maxim Sytch, which covers the four most common ways companies get decision-making wrong.Before getting to the four mistakes, I start by comparing the three frameworks companies actually use to try to fix this, and when each one is the better fit:• RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed): best for complex, cross-functional work where a lot of people need visibility into the outcome.• RAPID (Recommend, Agree, Perform, Input, Decide): best for major, infrequent, org-wide decisions that keep stalling at a specific bottleneck in the chain of command.• DARE (Decide, Advise, Recommend, Execute): best for fast, high-stakes situations where speed and a clear decider matter more than broad buy-in.Here are the four mistakes companies make with these frameworks, no matter which one they use:1. Assigning roles before the actual goal is clear.2. Treating decision rights as a static spreadsheet handed down from a single leader instead of something the team builds together.3. Not agreeing on what each role actually means in practice.4. Letting people repeatedly act in the same role regardless of what the specific decision calls for.I also share four ways to overcome these issues so that everyone can start on the same page:1. Cocreate roles instead of dictating them.2. Write out what each role looks like in actual behavior, not just in title.3. Revisit roles regularly instead of treating them as one-and-done.4. Redesign meetings around the roles you've assigned, with real time budgets for framing, debate, and the actual call.Finally, I address how collaborative and participative decision-making (the kind more often associated with women leaders) fits into all of this, both in positive and negative ways.___________________________Sources Cited in This Episode:Greer, L., Jordan, J., & Sytch, M.
