When you lead, disagreeing with others is a requirement. Making decisions, advocating for solutions, and carrying tough messages come with the job. Unfortunately, when we disagree we have been trained to tell people they are wrong before we tell them we are right. It seems only natural to do so. Telling people they are wrong before we tell them what is right seems logical as well: “You’re not looking at this the right way, let me explain it to you.” “You don’t believe that.” “You are mistaken.” “What you suggested isn’t realistic.” “That’s not the way it works, let me show you.”
