RACI is meant to create clarity, but in real teams, it often doesn’t. The issue usually isn’t the model. It’s that RACI defines roles without clearly naming decision authority. When “accountable” is unclear and too many people are consulted, work slows down and decisions stall. In this short, I break down why RACI breaks and why decision clarity has to come first. #LeadershipDevelopment #ManagementTips #ProjectManagement #RACI #DecisionMaking #TeamClarity #LeadershipLab360
