Socializing builds understanding through interaction across the process. Top-down decisions preserve clear
authority and can protect speed. Diverging invites alternatives and makes fuller use of distributed expertise

together around a direction people can support. No process is always best; the right choice depends on
decision quality, available knowledge, time pressure, and the need for acceptance and ownership.
