Decision-making should not conceal genuine disagreements through forced false consensus. What should you actually do? Give people space to express their ideas, challenge ideas, and ultimately allow voting to settle matters.
Take how the Federal Reserve works. When committee members can openly dissent and explain their reasons for disagreement, it’s not a flaw—it's how the system is intended to function. Different viewpoints are presented, alternative opinions are recorded, and the final decision carries real weight because it wasn’t just guaranteed approval. These principles are important across all fields. Whether it’s a company’s board of directors, a DAO governance structure, or any organization trying to make solid decisions: suppressing disagreement usually makes things worse. You get better results when people can truly discuss their issues and know that their vote matters.
