Masters of Scale

CHAPTER

Disagreement Is the Wellspring of Great Ideas and Great Companies

Disagreement is the wellspring of great ideas and great companies, but only if you harnessed that conflict constructively. Seman: It's your job as a leader to invite good criticism. The advice i always give founders is don't ask people what they think about your idea, ask them what's wrong with your idea. Invite them to poke holes in it, because you want to find those holes before you bring your idea into the world. And by constructively harnessing disagreements on your team, you improve ideas and fuel great focus work.
