Can’t Please Everyone

A company was undergoing an office redesign. 
The manager in charge set up four test design sites
and then had employees vote on it. 
When he announced the decision,
he received a wave of complaints. 

He asked me why this process didn’t work. 
My reply was “it did work.” 

A tough part of being a decision maker is
that not everyone will be happy with the decision,
not matter how its made.  
You can minimize the negativity but
not eliminate it completely.
