Encourage More Debate at Work
One of the myths about “great workplaces” is that conflict is rare. We believe that workplace disagreements are undesirable, that they’re distracting and hurt productivity. But research reveals that in many cases, disagreements fuel better performance. While personality clashes, or differences in values, can indeed be detrimental, conflicts that center on how work is performed can produce better decisions and stronger financial outcomes. Healthy debate encourages group members to think more deeply, scrutinize alternatives, and avoid premature consensus. The experience of open deliberation can actually energize employees by providing them with better strategies for doing their job. Instead of avoiding disagreements to maintain group harmony, create an environment in which thoughtful debate is encouraged. When no one is challenging you to think differently, you get stuck doing things the way you’ve always done them.

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.”
— James A. Michener

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
