Jeff Bezos offered some unconventional wisdom about teamwork and said it's actually a bad idea when companies encourage employees to compromise with each other.

Speaking on the Lex Fridman Podcast on Thursday, the Amazon founder said that "dispute resolution" is a really interesting thing to observe on teams because two "well-intentioned" people may just have very different opinions about what's the right decision.

"We have in our society and inside companies, a bunch of mechanisms we use to resolve these kinds of disputes," Bezos said in the podcast. "A lot of them are, I think, really bad. An example of a really bad way of coming to an agreement is compromise."
