Landslide Decisions and the Boiling Test
Meetings often devolve into voting scenarios, where even good ideas can be sidelined due to lack of consensus.

Engaging stakeholders proactively ensures that worthwhile proposals receive the backing they need to succeed. Additionally, there's a metaphorical test for new employees in challenging situations: asking 'Are we boiling eggs or potatoes?' helps gauge their resilience.
