Communicating a Decision

Should you need to announce a decision to a team or organization, you have several options:

• Tell each person individually, in private.
• Tell everyone at the same time.
• Tell some people, charging them to tell others.
• Tell only those who need to know.

The point is not which method is best or that this is an exhaustive list. The point is to have a method and be transparent and consistent (as appropriate) about how communications are made.
