Most organizations run on two default modes of deciding: build consensus until everyone's exhausted, or debate until the boss makes the call. Both feel normal and both quietly stall the work, so how do you introduce something better without triggering resistance? In this mini episode, Rodney and Sam trade their favorite on-ramps. Rodney starts small: be the person who asks "wait, have we actually decided?" Sam makes the case for a bigger palette of decision types, from the advice process to IDM-lite. And both land hard on the power of the proposal, even a scrappy single paragraph beats another meeting of casting about, and bringing two counter-proposals takes your ego out of the game entirely.
