What kinds of decisions the manager could retreat and cancel?
The best way to correct your mistake is: admit it, apologize and correct it. Doing so you gain the respect of others.
That will be the case if he/she replace erroneous decisions with correct ones. If this is explained, I think all parties will respect it.
I think it impact on both sides, for staff and vice versa. To be decisive in decision making the manager may respect for any staff member to retreat his decision.
retreat is only when situation changes and his decision may cause more problems then solve problems
we live in a fast changing word
stubborness and arrogance without any thinking may cause disasters
It is the best choice to retreat bad decisions as early as possible. This works in both life and work and for a normal staff member or manager. This leads to respect such person and feel safe dealing with them.
I agree with Mamdouh Manie's Answer
I think that managers mustn't get back on their decisions and they must be decisive except when there is a big problem.If employees got used to the changeable decisions , they won' feel safe and relaxed as they expect that what they will achieve will be changed.I have heard a rule saying that "you must continue even if you were wrong"
what should be done in advance is that managers sit with their staff to exchange opinions and they agree together on one decision that can't be changed.
i think it must be especially if he/she discovered that his/her decision was wrongbut in the same time it should be in cleaver way as:according to last year statics that i had received yesterday, we can retreatregarding discussion with General Manager we shouldnt take this action now, we will delegate it for6 months and things like that.
