unpredictable situations that arise. Managers who are simply reactive aren’t able to efficiently manage their business or organization as so much of their focus is on damage control.
A proactive manager would take their experience, training, and reports and plan for an unanticipated outcome. If a manager takes the time to analyze potentially negative results it is possible that they can prevent a negative outcome from occurring in the first place.

The Consensus-Oriented Decision Making (CODM) model recognizes that groups need to be able to produce decisions efficiently.

People are more likely to resist change if they don’t understand the what or why behind the decision. CODM gives employees a voice and a chance to create something that affects their work
