Sell the solution

Article Abstract:

Good business decisions and solutions to problems often are not accepted on their merit alone but must be sold to staff and management. The guidelines to enhance the acceptance of decisions and solutions include making sure staff and management know and understand the problems before they are presented with solutions; presenting both the positive and negative aspects of decisions and solutions; and presenting decisions and solutions in the language and frame of reference of management and staff.
