TED Talk: Dare to disagree

I live my work life with the daring mindset to prove my ideas wrong. And I gather around me others willing and capable of doing the same. It is the best way to get things right. It takes an appreciation for the ability to disagree. It takes collegiality in conflict, debate, and willingness to solve the problem. Consensus is good AFTER everyone has worked through the problems and actually solved them. Not fighting about what is wrong and getting moved or moving others probably means there are bad ideas not yet identified which will later rise up later and burn everyone involved. In my mind it is better to identify those things and correct them early in the process rather than later when it might be too late.
