Decision Rights

Professional Management Buzzword General

Who is actually empowered to decide what. The org chart's shadow twin: titles suggest one map; decision rights draw the real one. Most 'alignment problems' are disputes over this.

Heard in the wild

“Nobody knows who owns the pricing decision — classic decision-rights gap.”

Tone check: Professional

When a decision keeps unravelling, someone re-decided it. Find who holds the actual right, not the title.
