Disagree and Commit
Origin: Jeff Bezos / Intel (Andy Grove origin)
Biological Parallel
Wolf packs debate hunting strategies through body language and vocalizations—different individuals advocate for different prey or directions. But once the alpha decides, dissenters commit fully to the chosen hunt. Split hunting efforts guarantee failure. This 'disagree then synchronize' pattern appears across social hunters: the decision matters less than unified execution, because coordinated action on a suboptimal plan outperforms fragmented action on optimal plans. Bezos codified what predators evolved: debate, decide, commit.
