Had this conversation with the founder of a high growth, VC-backed fintech CEO the other day regarding how he can cut down on unproductive internal debate on how things should be done:
In a team setting, decisions should be made via facts or who has the most subjective experience executing. If a decision cannot be made easily with facts, the team member with the most experience in the area of debate should make the decision. If the decision is important enough, and you have time, triangulate with experienced people outside the team.
It takes effort and time to become a great judge of when to debate, when to rely on an experienced teammate, and when to pause and triangulate with capable, external people.
