    The absence of descent does not imply the presence of acceptance.

    Sometimes people are busy and don’t have time to think about or discuss doing X thing, but they haven’t bought in on it.

    A lead or senior person on the team needs to gather input and get a read from people individually, sometimes.

    I also think there’s another good one when things are in a deadlock and nobody wants to force their position: “Disagree and decide.” - having some ruffled feathers and a resolution is way better than the illusion of harmony and no closure.
