The most effective teams understand one essential truth: it's not about being right—it's about getting it right. Healthy debate isn't about winning an argument; it's about uncovering the best solutions together. When we approach discussions with open minds and the goal of success, we create room for the best ideas to come forward. To listen the full discussion, check out last week's episode of the PHX Founders Podcast with Gregg Scoresby and Kentaro Kawamori. #leadership #teamwork #decisionmaking https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7282834002808393728
