In my experience, "strong opinions weakly held" is a style of workforce management, not a thinking style. In brief: - Project total confidence to your employees. At any given moment, your course of action is the best one available. - Announce changes instead of proposing them. Announce them at the last possible moment, or even retroactively. - Never mention past iterations you have discarded. Now is now.
