Amplify Team Decisions with Organisational Capital

As a leader, how can I support a team's decision without taking ownership of it?

Use your organisational, political, or social capital to amplify and support a decision made by the team. This involves publicly echoing the decision and providing supplementary data or context that reinforces its validity. This strengthens the team's autonomy while ensuring the decision is well-supported.

Example(s)

A manager supports a team's decision to halt a feature by presenting data to stakeholders on how much time is lost to related incidents. They frame it as the team's correct decision, which is supported by this financial data.
