Lilia shares a challenging situation where an architect pushed a complex solution that she felt might be too difficult for her less-experienced team. Despite having two alternative solutions that better suited the team’s capabilities, she chose to let go of her concerns and try the architect’s approach. This decision required significant adaptation and ongoing conversations with her frustrated team members. By informing her manager about the team’s frustration level and working closely with the team to adapt the solution to their context, Lilia demonstrates the valuable principle of “disagree but commit” – sometimes you need to let go of your preferred approach and learn from trying something different.
