>(Jeff Bezos): "Your most junior person can overrule your most senior person, if they have the data to back it up. In your meetings, the order of voice should go from the most junior person, to the most senior person." Wholeheartedly agree! Phrased another way: "Data is senior to seniority." (At least, let's presume that it is, or should be, 99 times out of 100 -- 99% of the time -- barring exceptionally rare and unusual situations and circumstances. Accumulated Wisdom over a lifetime sometimes trumps Data ("What is the exactly right thing to do given this situation, given this set of circumstances?") -- so Wisdom > Data > Corporate Seniority, although in an ideal world and under normal circumstances, all of them should be in exact agreement...)
