Effective Leaders Decide About Deciding

Great article from the MIT management review about a useful decision making structure designed to identify which decisions need to be made how and by whom. Structures like this can empower teams to self-lead and make decisions without slowing down for approval while maintaining upper-level focus on the most important and urgent decisions. Would love to apply this more in emergency medicine.
