When leadership teams get stuck in unproductive debate cycles

The other senior executives and I keep having the same strategic debates in every meeting without ever actually resolving anything or moving forward. I think we all know we're stuck but we've invested so much in our individual positions that backing down feels impossible and none of us wants to admit we might be wrong about the direction.
