Don’t ever agree to disagree.
Finding agreement is one of the key obstacles organizations face when trying to get to the next level. It’s not that the leaders don’t have a vision for their company, but that there are several visions that don’t align.
Conflict Creates Unity
It’s often tempting to gloss over conflicts in an organization. You want to foster unity and collaboration, and keep dissention to a minimum. So in an effort to keep the team happy, disagreements don’t really get explored and are only minimally addressed. A bandage is slapped on the issue.
The truth is, to create unity and real collaboration, you need to fully engage in conflict and disagreements. Conflicts are opportunities to truly bring your whole leadership team onto the same page and get full buy-in. When everyone has the opportunity to voice their perspective and understand other perspectives, the real issues at the root of the conflict can be addressed and resolved.
Only then can you have full buy-in and real unity. And only then can your company be in position to start gaining traction.
