You can't accommodate a hundred different opinions,and you can't ignore them. All you can do is provide people with theillusion that they participated in the decision. For some reason, that'senough to make people happy. This is the basis for all democracies.
In "The Dilbert Principle," Scott Adams discusses the challenge of managing diverse opinions in a workplace. He highlights the difficulty of addressing every person's viewpoint while also acknowledging the impracticality of ignoring them altogether. Instead, he suggests that offering individuals a sense of participation in decision-making can lead to their satisfaction, even if their input doesn't directly influence the outcome.
This approach is portrayed as a fundamental aspect of democratic systems, where the perception of involvement often suffices to maintain morale among the participants. Adams underscores the irony that fulfilling this need for illusion can be enough to keep people content, despite the underlying complexities of management and leadership.
