> An obvious example of this is legal How is that an example? Legal is just an input. A mature individual is going to heed the advice from legal, most certainly, but legal isn't making the final decision. Legal doesn't know anything about all of the other constraints, like customer need and technical need. If they did, they wouldn't be working as legal council, they'd be doing the job we're talking about. So, we're right back at the previous comment: - If you don't think they're capable of listening to the same things as you are, taking into account team guidance, and coming to a reasonable decision, why would you trust them to implement something? - If they're not getting the same inputs to their decisions as you are, why are you hamstringing them? - And if they're not capable of understanding the inputs to their decisions, why are you keeping them around?
