Encourage constructive dissent
15 October 2024
Different opinions usually lead to better outcomes.
Encourage your teammates to voice their thoughts, even if they go against the grain. Ask:
👉 What’s your perspective on this?
– or –
👉 Are there any risks we haven’t considered?
Creating a safe space for constructive dissent opens the door to innovation.
It’s not about conflict. It’s about exploring all angles to find the best possible solution.
Great leaders don’t seek agreement. Great leaders seek the best ideas.
So encourage healthy debate.
You might uncover insights you’d have otherwise missed.
