Can we agree to disagree?

Let's start with the sentence of the day - "We focus too much on artificial intelligence and forget to take care of natural stupidity first" 👍👎.

Can we agree to disagree? Yes we can, depending on the culture and country we are living in. For much more details see https://simplicable.com/new/agree-to-disagree for example or ask Dr. Google 😉.
Some personal comments:
- In consensus driven organizations, countries or cultures it definitely will not work
- If you are working in global, possibly virtual teams it has to, because these kind of rules are not clarified up front in most of the cases
- The general acceptance or expectation of different opinions in a team or organization are value add, sharing concerns is the basis for trust, motivation and success
- Taking a greenfield approach would be the best option, but most strategies are either driven by the As-Is or To-Be status, as change is difficult
- But keep in mind:
- If the company or your organization/team decides to go one way, you have to follow and be loyal, if you like it or not - the good thing is you could mention your divergent opinion before 😉
- Over a longer period of time you will be sometimes on the "winner" and "loser" side, it will keep the balance
- If not, you are in the wrong company, also an important insight
So try it and find out, how your environment is ticking. It is worth it !!
