“I need to prove that they’re wrong.”
said the CEO.
“Why?”
I asked
“Because I don’t want him to think I’m making an arbitrary decision.”
she responded.
“What do you think will happen if you prove them wrong?”
I asked
“He’ll probably trying to prove he’s right.”
she responded.
And then what?
I’ll prove him wrong again.

I guess we’ll go around in circles.
You do realize
that you cannot guarntee you’re right, right?
Yeah, I do.
But nor does he!
True
But you have the power
to make the decision
What have you got to lose
if you simply said
“I may be wrong, but I’d like to make this decision for the following reasons.”
