I've been using this one in my own management for years now and I hope those that have worked with me would agree on its merits:
“Strive to reach consensus. Modern corporate mythology has the unique decision maker as hero. We adhere to the view that the ”many are smarter than the few,“ and solicit a broad base of views before reaching any decision. At Google, the role of the manager is that of an aggregator of viewpoints, not the dictator of decisions. Building a consensus sometimes takes longer, but always produces a more committed team and better decisions”
