Why Can't I Just Decide Without Asking Everyone First?

You call another meeting. You send another message asking what people think. You tell yourself you are being careful, being fair, building buy-in. Weeks pass. The decision still has not been made. Here is what you will not say out loud: you are afraid that if you decide alone and it goes wrong, it will be your fault, plainly, with no one to share it. So you spread the decision across enough people that no one can point straight at you. That is not teamwork. That is fear wearing a team jersey. You cannot control whether the choice turns out well. No one can. You can control whether you make it, and when. That is the whole matter. Start there.
