Scenario

When startup teams discover their collaborative values conflict with operational needs

My startup team of four committed to making decisions by consensus because we all value collaboration, but six months in, we're discovering that our decision-making process is so slow and exhausting that we're avoiding important choices altogether. We believe in democratic leadership but we're starting to wonder if our ideals are actually hurting the company.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Idealistic decision-making structures collapse under practical pressures, forcing a group to choose between their values and their effectiveness.
