Even a strong, well reasoned decision can fall apart in so many ways. If you don’t prepare and communicate the reasons in a clear, understandable and defensible way, you’re tempting disaster. If you don’t take steps to eliminate any question of bias, even when none exists, things can turn sour quickly. If you aren’t contemplating how a decision could conceivably be challenged from the very start, you’ll regret it if a challenge does arise.
