General George Patton   “If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.”   The best decisions are made when people who disagree come to a  consensus of what is best. Notice I didn’t say compromise. Compromise  means that you don’t fully agree with the solution, but you are  willing to give up some elements of your idea under pressure.  Consensus means after the pressure cooker session is finished, ALL  agree that THIS is the absolute BEST idea.   The interchange and challenge of ideas has been always been the best caldron for THE IDEA, the ultimate best idea for the situation at  hand.   Most people can’t work with others well enough, (checking their ego  at the door) to admit that an element of thought from a coworker is  better than yours and should be incorporated in the final plan.   Everyone you meet has many different experiences and knows things you  don’t. This is also true of yourself in relation to them. The  buzzword today is Diversity. I have heard that a lot, but all that  was said
