Dare to disagree | Margaret Heffernan

  • Most people instinctively avoid conflict, but as Margaret Heffernan shows us, good disagreement is central to progress. She illustrates (sometimes counterintuitively) how the best partners aren't echo chambers -- and how great research teams, relationships and businesses allow people to deeply disagree.

    That is the reality of it. Nicely put!

    Apart from a fantastic presentation of her basic topic of 'Dare To Disagree', the little fact that caught my attention is Dr. Heffernan's mention during her talk about how Dr. Alice Stewart could continue her research about cancer in children thanks to the Scholarship from Lady Tata Scholarship caught my attention and made so proud to be an Indian.
    The Lady Tata Memorial Trust was established by Sir Dorabji Tata in April 1932 in memory of his wife, Lady Meherbai, who was struck with leukaemia in 1930 at the age of 50, and succumbed to the disease a year later in Wales, when she passed away on 18th June 1931.

    I am a highschool student and I cannot agree more with this. But throughout my schooling I've seen less and less of my peers questions things and methods and anything the teacher may say that does add up.
    The reason I think that causing this is whenever a teacher is questioned, they don't try and explain or even think about it before saying 'it's just how it works'. Even on small things.
    I once asked a teacher if I could do a diagram a little differently in a way that makes it (to me at least) less messy and easier for me to understand to study later. Well I got turned down and told I needed to do it the way my teacher explained, when I asked why I got 'because you need to follow directions, we do it this way for a reason.'
    I'm constantly told to sit and follow directions, never question, and told thats what employers want, thats what will get us through in life... To not think, to just follow. Never be a leader. Never be different.

      Keep being your wonderful self. I recall being confused when I got to math answers in a different way than I was "supposed" to so I was told my way was wrong. When I was in high school I was told that I think too much. Today I am so glad that I followed my heart. I have read thousands of books and I worked with thousands of people. Today I understand so much more than I ever would have if I had listened two others instead of finding out for myself. Sometimes it can be sad and difficult to see how the world and people really are especially in the way we treat each other. But at least I am not confused, depressed and angry at myself. Follow your own curiosity and keep using your mind according to what makes sense to you. Thanks for sharing, your life is and will continue to be amazing and satisfying.

      the fact you object to this "just follow the rules" mindset makes me think you would make a better leader than a follower. I find myself in the same position at times, and if I'm told to just follow the rules, I'll do the exact opposite and make my own rules instead. It's why I'm not sure if I could ever really be comfortable as an employee of a company when I think I'd much rather start a company of my own if possible. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it? (With apologies to Shakespeare...) to follow or not to follow, that is the question.....

    Amazing...one of the fundamental principles I use in all of my classes I teach. Embrace those that disagree. Be willing to learn from those that oppose. There is a huge skill set as she mentioned that is required. However, that skill set is well worth the investment. Thanks Margaret for your powerful story!

    • @SKF358
      @SKF358 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      "Skill set" or "skill?" Think about the difference. "Skill" is the same as "skill set," except "skill" is less words, but "skill set" makes people feel they're onto something even bigger than "skill." But, they're not. It's just pretentious to add words to communicate the same thing.

    Really interesting and explains a lot about how my relationships with my bosses works so well. I'm from a very different background than they are and I'm a forward person who is comfortable speaking my mind in most environments. Including questioning almost everything. I'm probably somewhat frustrating to them at times but from those open discussions have come real progress in the time I've been there.

    I always like when, as is the case with this video, the BSIT degree program I am working through includes TEDTalks as part of the reserve readings/resources for a particular week. A lot of them provide really good food for thought, and I often find myself joining in the applause at the end of the lectures and validating the claim "ideas worth sharing". This one, in particular, struck a nerve with me when it explained the issue of executives being afraid of conflicting with the higher-ups of an organization, and I pause the video long enough to make a mental note to avoid that problem as best I can with a small business I want to start up after I've earned my degree.

    Este video ofrece una perspectiva reveladora sobre el valor del disenso en el ámbito laboral y más allá. Margaret Heffernan destaca cómo la diversidad de opiniones y el debate abierto pueden conducir a una toma de decisiones más sólida y a una mayor innovación. Su llamado a "atreverse a disentir" desafía la norma del pensamiento uniforme y fomenta un ambiente donde se aprecien las voces divergentes y se promueva el pensamiento crítico.

    "The fact is the most of the biggest catastrophes that we've witnessed rarely come from information that is hidden. It comes from information that is freely available and out there, but that we are willfully blind to because we can't handle it. don't want to handle the conflict that it provokes. But when we dare to break that silence or when we dare to see and we create conflict, we enable ourselves and the people around us do to our very best thinking."

    this is great mindset. i agree 100%. but you have to understand that instances like these are outliers. i face the same dilemma at work. i am always forced to conform. there are catalytic things that are essential like emotional maturity, great drive and exquisite intricate communication. mostly people react negatively. i am also branded a whistleblower or an eager beaver and i am always forced to conform to rules set by reclusive people. thumbs up if you agree.

    I saw from another TED video that when you are in fight or flight mode the rational part of your brain is blocked by the part that is associated with your instinct. I forget what the parts are called but it is true for me because I can't think when I'm in any sort of conflict.

    I see your point, as that is what the Marketing arm of TED bills themselves as.... But MY point of the matter is that they are NOT that, in my opinion.
    I'll judge TED by what they offer, not by what they SAY they are.
    As a College grad, an Engineer, a Businessman / Marketing Manager, & a World traveler, I am VERY well rounded, & very much aware of the differences between what people/businesses say they are - and what they REALLY are.
    CLEARLY: They are *firstly* a Political platform

    Este video es un recordatorio poderoso de la importancia del conflicto constructivo y la comunicación abierta en la toma de decisiones y la solución de problemas. La historia de Alice Stewart es un ejemplo inspirador de cómo desafiar las creencias convencionales puede llevar a descubrimientos significativos. Aprendamos a abrazar el conflicto como una oportunidad para el crecimiento y la innovación en nuestras organizaciones y en la sociedad en general.
