Managing Decisions

What happens to a decision once you make it?  Is it followed, are there checks and balances, is there subordinate involvement, is it managed?  If not many of your decisions might be short lived.  Any decision should have a support system behind it and it should be managed.  The simpliest way to ensure your decision lives is to gain support of those having to implement or are subject to your decision.  Empowering those around you to take your decision and create a process eases your burden and also guarantees it's success.  People will enjoy doing a task they had involvement in creating and ensure it is followed.  A decision without management is just an idea!
