Interesting thought. I have been working on teams for years and there are so many personalities involved when making decisions. I think there is a ton of room for improvement when it comes to finding a way work together and allow for everyone to contribute as opposed to taking the easy way out and going with the first idea made.

Curious if other people ignore/have this problem as well especially in startups with different personalities.

Yeah I am working on a product that will solve this issue and allow anyone on the team to have an impactful idea. Already know it is a problem in Corporate America but just wondering if it is an issue within the startup community as well. Thanks!

Yeah I think that is a great idea, in my experience there are quiet and outgoing people in everyteam and sometimes people get stuck in groupthink situations. Especially developers, when we have a problem we take the first solution and it might not be the best but some people don't speak up. Good Luck!
