When that happens, I assume the meeting created the appearance of alignment but not actual commitment or clarity. So I do not treat the issue as just a personality problem. I look at whether the decision was documented clearly, whether the tradeoffs were explicit, and whether the right people felt safe enough to disagree in the room.
