I&#x27;m not going to take the inter-generational warfare bait :). But I agree with what I think is your main point.<p>My natural tendency is to want consensus. I think that&#x27;s worth attempting within a reasonable time-frame. But after some discussion, eventually a decision needs to be made.<p>Many decisions are reversible at a very small cost. Sometimes making the wrong decision, soon, then correcting it, soon, wastes no more time and resources than not deciding at all. Sometimes it&#x27;s even preferable for morale.<p>Having everyone row together in the wrong direction, then change course, isn&#x27;t ideal. But at least everyone is rowing in the same direction and feels like a real team. Often that&#x27;s better than sitting in middle of the ocean, oars in the water, debating and going nowhere.<p>But as with most advice I offer unsolicited, I&#x27;m going to waffle and say, &quot;it depends on the situation&quot;. :)
