What if the goal of a disagreement isn’t to win it? Dr. Julia Minson, professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and founder of Disagreeing Better, LLC, joins host, Annie Duke, to explore why disagreements so often go wrong, and what it takes to have them go well. Julia explains why we each assume our own view is the reasonable one, and why that leads us to conclude that people who disagree must be uninformed, biased, or worse.
This episode explores how asking why someone holds a belief helps you address the real disagreement, and how Julia’s HEAR framework helps others feel heard while you make your case. It also covers why teams need robust disagreement before committing to a decision, and how recognizing that others may have good reasons can help you change your mind when it matters.
