Today’s businesses rely heavily on teams. Increasingly, entire executive leadership teams are going online as remote, “virtual teams.” That trend has been amplified greatly by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Online teaming has its unique challenges, especially in the dynamics of decision-making. Some special quirks of human decision-making arise and must be managed to assure that decisions taken in remote meetings are in fact actionable, “real decisions.”
Dr. Ken Brousseau, CEO of Decision Dynamics LLC, and Prof. Armin Pajand of Texas A&M University are experts in decision-making and team dynamics. They present a unique framework for understanding behavioral styles of thinking and deciding and illustrate how to use the framework in leading remote and online teams.
