Maruska proposes a different way for businesses to approach decision-making, one that fosters enthusiasm, hope and cohesion. He gives ten steps for achieving this, ones which have been tested in Fortune 500 and high-growth companies over more than a decade of real world experience. Maruska also provides strategies for overcoming common obstacles you might encounter on the way. “If you’ve been bogged down in divisive and unproductive debates, just imagine what it would be like if your team member’s philosophy was ‘We can do this together’”.<br>Everyone in the company should be a stakeholder, and as such should be given accurate information about the company and considered a decision-maker.

How Great Decisions Get Made offers a way for businesses to develop their most valuable resource, their employees.<br>
