Subsidiarity

  • Decisions should be made at the lowest competent and practical level, by those most directly affected by the decision and most knowledgeable about the issue.
  • Local knowledge leads to better solutions; a production committee understands its challenges better than a centralized council.
  • Empowering local committees prevents every minor action from passing through slow layers of approval.
  • Decentralization fosters ownership and accountability among those who shape the decisions that affect them.
  • To break a tie, weigh the opinions of those closest to the issue and the relevant expertise.
