**Disagree & Commit. **Is this the same as "The chain of command will not be challenged"? What would be the point of disagreeing if management isn't going to listen anyhow? Either I'm missing something or missing why this warrants its own catch phrase.

Bezos proceeds to describe a situation where the ranking person decided to do what the subordinate was pushing for and suggest that the point is that once a decision is made--either Boss's way or the Subordinate's way-- then there should be no 2nd guessing, no later saying, "See I told you that wouldn't work" and that people should **not **try to find a compromise between positions that logically are impossible to mix.

Also try not fight based on stubbornness (I'm thinking this is like asking 2 people, have y'all tried not being stubborn?). Bezos suggests escalating the decision (e.g. go up the chain of command, presumably to present both sides? You could always go to the skip boss and ask them, "Am I not the boss here?")
Bezos is describing informal rules of debate. Disagree & Commit as a phrase poorly captures this.
