Even in the capitalist hellscape of tech startups, we have like a frontend group that makes decisions about the front end code that’s separate from the entire engineering org. Likewise there’s one for the backend, for devops concerns, and so on.
Some orgs are disorganized and require a lot of vertical approval steps, but that’s not an inherent nature of committee
For hierarchical committees where order needs to come from the top down, sure, your sarcasm is warranted.
Still, there are other structures of committee organization that are horizontal in nature and allow for much more flexibility when it comes to needing to make decisions.
Interacting with people who haven’t lived their entire lives as boot lickers. Or failing to see all the times people to manage. Ttrpg groups for example do occasionally occur. They have been played before.
First steps not being unsteady is weird. Everybody’s gonna fuck up the first few times. There exist tools to help, though I’m more a solitary creature and do not have any bookmarked.
The problem with groups isn’t that they make bad decisions, it’s that they struggle to make any kind of decision.
Doesn’t matter if it’s a boss, an owner, or a rep, someone has to take responsibility or nothing ever happens.
Ever watched six people try and Schedule a D&D session? 🤣
Usually some people will take initiative and some people will delegate their responsibilities. Form committees , that sort of thing.
Committees, the pinnacle of efficiency.
Efficiency doesn’t need to be the highest prioritized metric in a business. It’s pretty important, but there are more important things

You have a head of UX that makes the decisions (at least in the dozens of startups I have worked in/with).

Yup. Pretty much standard stuff. Before you know it, here we are.
They can make decisions if they learn how to work as a team. It is possible.
I’ve not witnessed any examples in my time, what am I missing?
