Michael’s Answer

Just because a decision goes against the majority, it does not make it wrong. The most important thing you need in conveying a difficult decision is the reasoning behind the decision. Make sure you have turned over every stone. Make sure you have looked at the same decision from the opposing viewpoint. When it comes time to communicate, explain the reasoning and be as transparent as possible. You may not change every heart, but most people will at least be able to come to grips with the decision if they understand the "why". Don't discredit the majority's viewpoint, but respect their intelligence to see and understand your reasoning.

Jerome’s Answer

Situations like these are a reason why having long-term goals can be very helpful. If the decision you’re making, will help you get closer to your ideal outcome, then it might be worth going against the flow.

On the other hand, depending on the situation, understand, understanding why people around you feel differently could help alter your views.

We will never get every decision right, but I think you are on the right track and trying to ask the right questions to make the best decision.
