Major Actions Are Rarely Decided By More Than Four People.

Major actions are rarely decided by more than four people. If you think a
larger meeting you're attending is really "hammering out" a decision,
you're probably wrong. Either the decision was agreed to by a smaller group
before the meeting began, or the outcome of the larger meeting will be
modified later when three or four people get together.
