On some teams, decisions are not final until others get a chance to “shop” them with the ultimate decision-maker. In dysfunctional organizations, those impacted by a decision get the chance to skip over their direct leader and make their case directly to whoever has the power to reverse course. This sounds like dastardly behavior on the part of those seeking to overturn or influence a decision they don’t like. But the real issue belongs with the leader who is open to discussing decisions already decided below them.
