When a discussion and debate about how to make your plans or brand better, welcome it sincerely. Because it is only through this that a better idea will be distilled out of the supposed chaos.
The sad thing
is that most people do not like debates and discussions. They think they are
having a debate or a discussion but what they are really doing is talking to
themselves as they rubbish off everything that the other party is saying.
Learn to
allow the perspective other than your own. If you truly believe in the merits
of your idea or what you believe, then let it stand against an opposing idea.
Don’t
bulldoze your way or mask the discussion as seeking the other party to ‘validate’
your ideas and beliefs. Aim to have an honest conversation of opposing ideas
and not one of brute discussion of one sided view.
Clients
especially have to be very careful of this. You have the power to decide. Use
that power to make things better, not just to decide what you want.
Have you
heard yourself lately?
