"Converting a decision into action requires answering several distinct questions: Who has to know of this decision? Who is to take care of it? And what does the action have to be so that people who have to do it can do it? The first and the last of these three questions are too often overlooked - with dire results.
A story that has become a legend among operations researchers illustrates the importance of the question "Who has to know?" A major manufacturer of industrial equipment decided several years ago to discontinue one model. For years it had been standard equipment on a line of machine tools, many of which were still in use. It was decided, therefore, to sell the model to present owners of the old equipment for another three years as a replacement, and then to stop making and selling it. Orders for this particular model had been going down for good many years. But they shot up as former customers reordered agains the day when the model would no longer be available. No one had, however, asked "Who needs to know of this decision?" Therefore nobody informed the clerk in the purchasing department who was in charge of buying the parts from which the model itself was being assembled. His instructions were to buy parts in a given ratio to current sales - and the instructions remained unchanged. When the time came to discontinue further production of the model, the company had in its warehouse enough parts for another eight to ten years of production, parts that had to be written off at a considerable loss."
Peter Drucker in "The Effective Executive", p. 136 f.
People with Includer may develop the strength to ask and answer the question "Who has to know of this decision?", especially so if they also have Strategic, Deliberative and/or Ideation.
The following two ironic observations (authors unknown) about committees may serve as a word of caution for Includers not to "include" too many people in a project or decision:
"A committee has been defined as a group of persons who follow a long and tortuous route to an obvious conclusion."
"A committee of five consists of one man who does the work, three others who pat him on the back, and one who brings in a minority report."
