Leadership

Your team MUST be able to disagree with you

Iyas A · Jun 25, 2018 ·

I remember once having a really heated debate with one of my team members. We held strongly divergent views on how to proceed with some of the Intellectual Property we were creating. A fellow board member was there, and tried to shut the debate down. Afterwards, he asked me why I put up with a […]

For instance, much of the work that is done in developing countries, such as walking to wells for water, is done by girls […]

Iyas A · Jun 13, 2018 ·

Leaders should debate vigorously, then STFU and unify behind their decision. I’ve written elsewhere about what a company loses when its leaders shut down debate. This is more pronounced in those boards where dissent is viewed as treachery. People paid as decision-shapers effectively become an overpaid board of one. But I’ve also seen leadership teams […]
