 Sometimes, part of our job as leaders is to alleviate tension and reduce disagreement within our organizations. While true in some cases, restriction, rooted in diversity of thought, can be valuable. Research indicates identifying, acknowledging, and understanding other points of view is critical to moving forward in constructive ways. This healthy tension keeps us on our toes. Without it, organizations are subject to groupthink. They miss the opportunity to develop their teams as creative learning organizations with a growth mindset. Ben Franklin once said, if you all think alike, no one is thinking. So leaders, don't eliminate tension, harness and guide it. Lead well this week.
