The Agreement Reached in Someone's Absence
Decisions frequently get made in conversations that exclude a relevant party, and the exclusion is rarely intentional. The conversation happened among those present, the decision seemed clear, and no one thought to include the person whose work would be affected.
The excluded party learns of the decision afterward and encounters it as fait accompli. Their objections, if any, now carry the burden of reversing something already settled. Many objections go unraised for this reason, and the decision proceeds without the input it should have incorporated.
Including relevant parties requires mapping who will be affected before concluding. For those coordinating within their professional development strategies, inclusion mapping is a procedural step. Our coordination framework provides inclusion approaches.
