 When you've finished the meeting, when you've made your decision or the group has made their decision, make sure that not only do you clearly state and document what the decision is, but what that means for everyone going forward. I remember there was a meeting I went to in the Air Force that was a four star general making a decision. And everyone left that meeting, remembering his exact words, but we all came away with very different impressions of what he meant by those words. And that really caused a lot of problems among all these different organizations for months afterwards. So it's not enough just to state what the decision is and document it. You've got to have conversations about what it means for everyone going forward.
