“Silence can do a lot of heavy lifting.”

Early in my company’s history, I felt that everyone should be given equal weight in making decisions. As it has grown, it becomes more and more obvious that that is not the case. I do, however, think it is important to give the people the feeling that they are contributing to the decision. Oligarchy is not my style.
