Do you often have disagreements at work or with friends?

Have you put much thought into the way leaders and colleagues should disagree, or how to do so without disrespecting each other?

Central to today's episode is an idea that is too easily forgotten in the heat of the moment with all of the modern context and stresses: it’s ok to disagree with someone. Disagreement doesn’t have to mean animosity, disrespect isn’t necessary to explain an opposing view. And perhaps most importantly, the role of conflict or disagreement isn't necessarily about bringing the other person to 'your side' or persuading them they are wrong.

This question is pivotal to effective leadership, great leaders recognise the value in opposing views, see the benefits of healthy confrontation, and are active in the way they encourage and develop these things within their teams. My guest today is Philip Blackett, a consultant and entrepreneur who previously has worked with big companies including FedEx, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America. Philip has authored several books, including "Disagree without Disrespect: How to Respectfully Debate with Those who Think, Believe, and Vote Differently From You" which is incredibly relevant!
