Citizen-centricity is popular in today's European eloquence. The commission speaks about it. The parliament speaks about it. Seminar and conference themes and summarys speak about it. Proposals and projects speak about it. Headlines of regional, national and union-wide information society programmes speak about it.
But what has every time until now happened to it when it's time to make the speaches come true? The paragraphs and hierarchic organizations somehow just roll over the human-faced ideas: speaking as humans in decision making suddenly isn't fashion any more.
What can we do? Who finally is making those decisions?
You and me!
We personnally feel in every decision making situation just like we should, as persons, citizens - and this is how we really want to decide.
Then we remember that our boss or the key person of the board probably wouldn't think in the same way. As a matter of fact we "know" how "they" would decide - and to be good team members we help them by guessing their opinion and letting it (without questioning) win in this case.
So it mostly is, isn't it?
To turn this all to a stream of human-faced decisions, operations and results just one small change in your and my decisions is needed:
Let's be brave and make our own decisions - and let's delegate the boss' decision to himself.
Happy Personal decisions!
