What is a word for someone who is not the sole decision maker?

English Language & Usage Asked by Laurenc on May 22, 2021

For example, a parent can be the decision maker over a child’s actions if under the age of 16. They can be a sole decision maker, active in making decisions for the child.

But, what is someone who does not make all the decisions – kind of like a co-parent, but more general. Co-decision-maker. More passive, someone who consults another individual before making the decision or works in harmony with someone rather than taking control and making all the decisions.

One Answer

A corporate word that fits is stakeholder, although it is not strictly related to decision making.

According to the Wikipedia article on the topic,

A stakeholder is a member of groups without whose support [an] organization would cease to exist.

Usually, stakeholders take joint decisions regarding the business or the issue they have a stake in.
