If you trust that the people you are working with are working towards the same goal, disagree and commit is important. You are not going to be right 100% of the time.

If the group is saying X is the right way to go and you’ve already given your reason why you think Y, you should disagree and commit. If you sit there complaining for weeks that they should be doing Y without any new information, you’re just being a shitty teammate and dragging everyone down.

The main point for the commit part is setting aside your ego to move the team forward. Most decisions are two way doors. If X doesn’t work out then try Y but don’t complain, work less hard, or sabotage because you didn’t get your way.

One big exception is if someone is making a decision that goes against company principles or morals.

indeed, only working in unity allows a team to face and fix mistakes and bad decisions, because then there is noone shouting "i told you so" when something fails.

unity in a team is more important than being right.
