So the leader goes, okay, we're going with plan A. And I know plan B and plan C are possibilities, but we don't need to talk about them.

I've chosen plan A. People don't weigh in because they want to avoid having disagreement.

Nobody really buys in.

And they go back to their team.

And here's how you know it too.

And their team goes, how's the meeting?

They go,

well, we're doing plan A. What do you think?

I'd have done plan B. And now people aren't really in.

But if everybody debates at that meeting,

The leader can then go, we're going with plan A or plan B because of what you said.

People will go back to their office and go, we're doing plan B. And we argued about it and they heard me.

It wasn't what I wanted, but I think it's right and we're in.

So conflict is actually necessary to get to commitment.

And when we skip conflict, people don't really buy in.

They smile and nod and it's called artificial harmony.

And then they go back and they don't really agree.

And you know, I think it's a bigger problem in our society today than it's ever been.

And that is when we get together and we think, my job is to affirm that person and make them feel good and to avoid any discomfort here.

The problem is, and there's something left to be said.
