The one who disagrees

One of the most important persons in your team is the one who disagrees, who challenges, who doesn't take what you say as an absolute truth.

That's a person that is typically missing in the teams of dictators. Surrounded by "yes-men", that confirm what they want to hear, every decision is a gamble with disaster, failing to have the test of early intelligent scrutiny.

Just think about that next time someone disagrees with your plans. Because that timely feedback helps you and your team to avoid mistakes and move towards better products, strategies and executions.
