I don´t believe in committees.
I don´t believe in creative circle jerks.
I don´t believe in finding consensus.
I believe in getting shit done.
That requires collaboration but combined with firm decision-making.
Shared responsibility usually means no responsibility.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and usually you want to smell only your own one.
Plus ideas are like farts.
Good strategy is about making choice.
And usually making choice means that there are opposing views. Some views will be supported and some won´t. And that is ok. In well-functioning organization you are listened but you also know who makes the decision. Opinions are listened, but not everyone is decision maker. Who makes the decision also holds the responsibility of the outcomes.
Consensus means no ownership. What’s important is not that everyone agrees, but that everyone is heard and then the right person makes a decision.
