Part of Steve's ongoing axioms mini-series, this episode covers Axiom 7 and how it balances against Axiom 0's 'I don't know nothing about nothing.'
The episode covers Amazon's 'disagree and commit' concept, why overriding your gut just to avoid conflict usually backfires, and when it's worth letting the team run with a decision you privately doubt.
For leaders who struggle with when to assert a call versus when to step back.
