Strategic Counsel: Classics: The Art of Respectful Debate: 4 Ways to Disagree without Being Contentious
We encourage respectful debate. It has an ability to pull different POVs, expertise, and beliefs – and that can be a great thing for your business. BUT, there’s an art to it. You can disagree without being contentious by taking responsibility for your current set of beliefs and assumptions, knowing when you are being objective or subjective, not letting it get personal, and defining and consistently reinforcing the common goal. Let’s dive into the art of respectful debate. This episode covers everything from debate to goals. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
- How do you disagree without being contentious?
- Why should you take responsibility for your current set of beliefs and assumptions?
- How do you know when you are being objective or subjective?
- What’s a POV?
- How do you not let it get personal?
- What goes into defining and consistently reinforcing the common goal?
- How does the BAL Model work?
- What did Crunch Fitness get wrong?
