Much of the time, objectivity and relativism are counterpoints and no question, for a startup to succeed, you have to get things objectively right - there are no legacy revenue streams to make up for half-ass-ed-ness.
But in more detail, it's about getting it objectively right as a team, and team success is all relative. So if you are frustrated with me and I am frustrated with you, there's no winning until we patch it up and get collaborating on being right together - I can't be right until I'm right in your opinion, and the opinions everyone else on the team, too.
