Board meeting of a successful company. After having each person share their point of view and the evidence to support that decision, they were all of the same opinion. So what do you do about it? You ask them to argue the opposite of their own opinion. And as we went through that process, a startling thing occurred. Every single person actually changed their minds. They really marvelled at how sure they had been, and now how sure they were again. Have you ever focused on being right instead of getting it right? I was faced with an interesting example just like this.
Do you want to learn how to be better at conflict resolution? I guess we all do, don't we? What happens when you feel you are right and the other person is wrong? Are you completely convinced of your opinion? Do you feel that way about somebody right now? By the end of the episode, you will be able to escape the costly trap of trying to be right all the time.
