transcript

FTE #1: I've put together a detailed and balanced view of the problem, but I can't get anyone to make a decision. What am I doing wrong?

FTE #2: The more informed the decision maker is the more accountable they are for their decision, hence the reluctance to commit.

FTE #1: So I should skew the data to get the decision I want and hope it turns out OK?

FTE #2: We'll make a project manager out of you yet.

Caption: Some people are incapable of making an informed decision.
