Crucial Conversations: The Benefits of Exploring Differing Opinions
It is not uncommon for people to shy away from or avoid situations where individuals have differing opinions. VitalSmarts research demonstrates that when there are opposing opinions, high stakes and strong emotions, we often are not at our best. Yet, there are benefits to holding dialogue and learning from the other's perspective. When we get our motives right and demonstrate respect to those with differing opinions, some of our greatest ideas and synergy occur. Learn to identify crucial moments so that you can enter into dialogue which can strengthen relationships and produce better results.
