simple trick I used to use to maintain the right balance. I took an old saying and put a twist on it, sharing it with my team as a mantra: Debate 70: Decide 30: Commit 100.
It means that we first allotted a certain amount of time to decide on something important. We'd spend 70 percent of that time debating differing points of view in a healthy, productive fashion and 30 percent of our time carefully funneling toward a decision. Then, after we'd decided (again allowing for a fair amount of back and forth per Bezos's point), we 100 percent committed to the decision. Debate. Decide. Commit.
