When multiple people have a stake in a decision, there is a higher chance that it will be the right decision because it filters out the possibility of a single person acting irrationally or for purely personal gain.

How do you define what is "the right decision"?

The decision that is reached by the voters, obviously.

So if the voters making decisions for a business decide to burn down the shop and donate all of the business's funds to the NSA, that is the right decision since it is what the voters chose?

Actually, I said that they have a higher chance of making the right decision, not that it would be the right decision every time.

STFU

Depends on the dynamic of the group.
A group  of people who are on opposite ends of how they feel something should be run would cause major conflict and nothing would get done.  Or if something did get done, it would be so full of compromise that it may not even do what was asked of it.

However, a group of shareholders are usually all on the same side and have equal desires.

Then I guess publicly traded companies are just retarded!

Hello Franklin! How have you been?

Did it occur to you that you could just change your settings so that you don't get automatic pinging on your phone with updates from Facebook?

We really need to make a thread chronicling Thork and all the dumb things he says.  We could call it Thork's Greatest Hits or something.

We have enough Thork threads but if you want another opportunity to discuss me, be my guest. 

I'm going places!

I spent all of yesterday at a training conference, paid for by work, learning how to be a better manager. Today is the conclusion of the conference.

That's right , this is the same Robosteve that posted on here for two years about his social anxiety issues. I'm going places!

Being a good manager is a lot like dealing with children.

Only the children are often more recipient to your commands.
