Unilateral Decision

The act of making a choice or reaching a conclusion within a meeting without seeking input or consensus from other participants. It can occur when a meeting organizer or a key decision-maker decides on a course of action independently, often bypassing collaborative discussions. While unilateral decisions can expedite decision-making in certain situations, they may also lead to resentment or misunderstandings within a team or organization, as they do not take into account the perspectives and expertise of other stakeholders.
