Abstract:
Listen to me. Agree with me. Why argue with me? My ideas are better than yours.
Every Business Daily reader knows someone who cannot fathom that their ideas stand as anything besides unimpeachably flawless. Give a contrary view that challenges their perceptions? They jump down your throat while trying to figuratively rip out your heart with vitriol and venom.
We hear these back and forth of forceful disputes anywhere from our homes to our communities to our places of worship to our politics.
Our superior cognitive capabilities make us dominant over other species on earth and part of our keen survival skills involves discussing and determining the best methods for keeping our families and small geographically confined communities safe.
Similarly, healthy deliberations should thrive as an integral part of the human experience since any workplace revolves around generating ideas and debating thoughts and concepts.
