In fast-growing companies, efficient decision-making is crucial for maintaining momentum. The author reflects on the tendency for too many decisions to be channeled through a few leaders, causing delays. They emphasize the importance of allowing developers to take ownership of decisions, which can enhance team culture and speed. A specific incident where a developer questioned a simple UX decision revealed that they felt inhibited in making decisions independently. The author concludes that by empowering developers to make quick, minor decisions without constant approval, companies can operate more efficiently and build a more engaged workforce.
In any fast-growing company, decision-making speed can make or break momentum. But what happens when too many decisions get funnelled through a handful of leaders? Things slow down - and nobody wins.
If we want to keep moving fast, we can't afford to micromanage every decision. Instead, we need to trust our team to make good calls and act quickly - knowing that if something goes wrong, we'll just fix it.
