Accept (a decision)

In the 8-step decision-making process, the final step is to reinforce.

This is when the decision is accepted; each member of the team or group confirms that he or she has individually accepted and is ready to be involved in the implementation of the decision.

The decision-making process is group oriented whereas the final decision is taken by the individual in authority and accepted by the group. (See take a decision, and make a decision.)
