Disagree and Commit

Jeff Bezos is famous for his "Day 1" philosophy which puts results over processes. One part of the "Day 1" philosophy is "Disagree and commit". Bezos gives the example of an Amazon Prime TV series. 

He said: “I had a completely different opinion and wanted to go ahead. I wrote back right away with 'I disagree and commit and hope it becomes the most watched thing we've ever made,'" he wrote. "Consider how much slower this decision cycle would have been if the team had actually had to convince me rather than simply get my commitment."
