High performing teams and organizations effectively understand and handle different viewpoints and opinions. They minimize situations where: a) no decisions are reached – just agreement to disagree; b) energy is diverted from higher priorities; and c) morale issues and division are created. Help create a team environment where “to be right does not mean the other person was wrong”.
