In an ever-growing more polarised world, we are delighted to agree to THE RULES OF CIVIL CONVERSATIONS.
It's all too easy to approach conversations with the belief you know best, to listen to respond, not understand.
When you think you're the 'authority' you can focus on winning without truly understanding the other person's perspective.
That's why it helps to have rules in place for your team's internal and external conversations.
5) Try to be reasonable, rational, and create coherent arguments.
6) Refrain from personal attacks, sarcasm, and mean-spiritedness.
7) Use the ‘Principle of Charity’ to see the merits of others’ points of view in the best light.
8) Remain genuinely receptive to changing my mind if presented with compelling arguments or evidence.
