Summary Notes
- Disagree and Commit is a principle which encourages team members to align around a goal, regardless of their outlook on it
- The foundation of the principle is to have people express their honest opinions about an initiative, and commit to whatever direction the company decides to go
- The principle is used as one Amazon’s core values, and originates back to Andy Grove (former CEO of Intel)
- The idea of disagreeing about an initiative and following through with relentless commitment is what helps to make a decision (and the implementation of it) more effective for a team and company
