Dissent simply means difference of opinion or
feeling. That is to have or express an
opinion different from a prevailing or official position. Organizations run by o CEO who lords over a
team of ‘yes’ men are unlikely to succeed. Remember, a team that challenges each other will
be successful together.
In business, just as in
life, you’re not going to get along with everyone all the time. Dealing with the differences as they arise,
while remaining open to the viewpoints of other, is crucial to building
long-lasting business relationships.
Having a healthy debate
about strategy and direction is vital if a business is to succeed. Thus speaking up if they disagree is
encouraged. This may seem like a bad
advice to leaders who believe that senior management teams should always be
harmonious. Occasional debate is good
for everyone and will help to sharpen your team’s focus.
In the long run,
disagreement and debate is healthy. Surrounding
one-self with colleagues who think differently and have different skills will
be an advantage.
Each time we have
fundamental disagreements with management teams, we have to move on, accept
each other views, and hopefully, learned something in the process. Remember,
there’s no better way of sorting out a difference of opinion then with a good-humoured
strong debate.
