strong ideas that are held weakly! I try my hardest to cultivate a mindset that allows people to speak freely and express their ideas and also drop said ideas when a clearly better idea arises. Every idea brought to the table should have a counter argument, we should all carefully discuss the pros and cons of everyone's ideas, and we shouldn't hold so tightly onto a pipe dream because we really want to use xyz tech or because "we're used to doing it x way!" If something is clearly better, safer, smarter, or mitigates risks that another idea doesn't then you need to accept it. I do not care how comfortable you are with your idea. It is time to switch gears and make the sensible choice based on the facts, not your personal bias.
