NOTE

Seeking resolution and decisiveness for increasing system velocity

The advantage of compromise as a resolution mechanism is that it's low energy, but it doesn't lead to truth, especially in matters where truth is essential. Resolving disputes based on who's more stubborn or through a war of attrition is detrimental as it doesn't lead to truth and is demoralizing. Escalating disagreements for a decisive resolution is crucial as it avoids de-energizing and lousy decision-making. Seeking resolution as quickly as possible and getting as close to truth as possible leads to a high velocity of the system. Decisiveness in making decisions, as quickly as responsibly possible, is important for increasing system velocity and preventing delays at all scale levels, thus contributing to a culture that supports high velocity.
