Your employees want to see you take action. But to make smart decisions, you need input. If you're like most managers, you probably seek input from people you know best. That can lead you to gather ideas only from those who share your viewpoints.
Result ? Unilateral thinking: everyone adopting the same point of view.
Unilateral thinking is good for cheerleading squads, but it'll get your unit into trouble. To avoid this trap, make certain your people feel free to voice opinions and ideas contrary to the prevailing thought in your group. Go out of your way to seek alternate approaches to problems - from maverick thinkers and those you don't know as well.
