Closed Minds Mean Slim Odds

My level of disappointment is directly correlated to the speed at which I make up my mind. Once my mind is made up, I have narrowed the possible outcomes that I will be happy with. Multiply that narrow probability times the number of people on a team with different expected outcomes and we can see just how difficult it is to please everyone on a team. If everyone on a team delayed deduction and kept their mind open to a few more favorable outcomes, then the chance of disappointment would narrow. That said, we should never make up our mind to eliminate disappointment based on this truth.
