Types of "downloaders"
Decision downloaders can be classified into three groups: robust, restricted, and remedial.
Robust downloaders discuss:
- how the decision was made
- why it was made
- what alternatives were considered
- how it fits in with the organizational mission
- how it impacts the organization
- how it impacts employees.
Restricted downloaders discuss some of the above issues, while remedial downloaders discuss few of them.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
