If you are the one to make the final decision, then in a real sense you are responsible. Committee decisions, which tend to diffuse responsibility, are seldom the best in practice—most of the time they represent a compromise which has none of the virtues of any path and tends to end in mediocrity. Experience has taught me that generally a decisive boss is better than a waffling one—you know where you stand and can get on with the work which needs to be done!
