Consensus is not a valuable decision making target.

While nice to have, not every opinion is the same quality nor every seat at the table of the same importance. Where consensus-building is not easily enough achieved, it’s more valuable to disagree and commit. It’s a gracious act to let those who disagree know that a decision has been made, personally.rF2
