Peter Drucker's 1971 classic article "What we can learn from Japanese management" would prove to be an interesting read to think more thoroughly about the subject: https://hbr.org/1971/03/what-we-can-learn-from-japanese-mana...

It provides a very different perspective on what it means to take (effective) decisions in a participatory manner (depending on the scale/scope of the decision), while being organizationally agile in translating those decisions into action, with a natural harmony between the two.

It is interesting to compare/contrast with Amazon's obsession with "high velocity decision-making making", for example :-)
