The leader seeks input, usually to cover blind spots and enhance the depth of understanding of the issue at hand. Key individuals hold important information and not consulting is seen to be irresponsible. 3. Leader gathers input from team and makes the decision. The leader holds a team meeting and solicits input from the team, listens to the team’s ideas and then using that information, makes a decision. 4. Consensus building. At this level, the leader is part of the team and s/he is just one vote/voice among many. The group processes all possible options and compromises until everyone is in agreement. 5 Consensus and delegation with criteria/constraints. The leader delegates decision making to the team and does not participate in decision making anddiscussions. This demands on the part of the leader to be very clear with the team and the criteria involved in decision making.
