IN EPISODE 156:
Dissent doesn't have to make us weaker. When it's rooted in our values, it can make us smarter and stronger. In Episode 156, Todd Kashdan shows us how "principled insubordination" can surface the issues and actions that lead to breakthrough ideas, bolder initiatives, and better teamwork. We discuss why the "wisdom of crowds" isn't always smart; how to win people to your side even when you lack power and position; and how leaders can promote a culture of healthy dissent. We don't have to make waves to make progress - and after listening to Todd, you'll turn dissent into a force for good.
