In full-day workshops, I often do a module mid-afternoon called Popcorn & a Movie. By about 2:30, that mid-day energy dip hits and it’s a perfect time for a flick. Everyone grabs some popcorn and a drink, then settles in as the lights go down and the show begins.
Sorry, no Iron Man or Star Wars. Our movie is a leadership video that relates to our topic du jour.
One of the most popular is a TED talk called Dare to Disagree.
Here’s the summary:
“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.”
The speaker, Margaret Hefferman, is a serial entrepreneur. In ~13:00 minutes, she makes a compelling argument for …..well…..arguing.
