How to Get Your Team to Actually Own Decisions

Episode 15 of Manager Mondays tackles one of the hardest people-management challenges: getting your team to genuinely own decisions instead of always running decisions back up to you. Lucas and Luna unpack a specific case from a 200-person software company where a VP of Engineering used a simple two-question framework to shift ownership to his seven direct reports in under three months. They walk through the framework, why most delegation attempts fail because they skip a crucial step, and how the VP measured the shift (meetings with the VP dropped 40 percent, while decision speed increased by about two weeks on average). The hosts also discuss what to do when a team member genuinely can't own a decision yet, and how to avoid the trap of 'false ownership' where people check out emotionally. Practical, specific, and grounded in a real team's experience. No theory, no fluff. #DecisionOwnership #TeamLeadership #PeopleManagement #ManagerMondays #FirstTimeManagers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Delegation #Empowerment #LeadershipSkills #TeamAutonomy #ManagementFramework #EmployeeEngagement #DecisionMaking #VPEngineering #SoftwareTeam #PsychologicalSafety Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
