Dogma: a belief or set of beliefs that is accepted by the members of a group without being questioned or doubted.
As a boss, in a moment of frustration, you may feel that this is what you want.  And if you lock all decision-making into your systems and processes, you'll get it.
Dogma scales, but it doesn't evolve, and it frequently gets subverted.  If 'computer says no' to often for my liking, I might just stop asking the computer.
If you want your business to outlast you and retain your vision, it's better to create space for dissent, debate and experiment. Â After all, dissent, debate and experiments are where discovery originates.
Use your systems and processes to create a floor that defines the minimum experience.   Guide your people with a small number of big principles. Then let them spread the word in their own way.
You never know, you might just found a new religion.
