In disagreements, earning respect is not about being right. It's about being reasonable. 8 studies: considering multiple interests and practical solutions signals morality and rationality, opening dialogue across divides. A key to building bridges is balanced pragmatism.
@AdamMGrant @CurtisPuryear @kurtjgray @lizandmollie Absolutely, finding common ground and practical solutions is key to fostering understanding and respect. Keep bridging those gaps!
@AdamMGrant @CurtisPuryear @kurtjgray @lizandmollie worst thing a disagreement can escalate to is personal attacks around belief systems or blame allocation. agree that keeping things separate can isolate focus to the problem at hand.
@AdamMGrant @CurtisPuryear @kurtjgray @lizandmollie conversations tend to be more productive when we set aside our egos
@AdamMGrant @CurtisPuryear @kurtjgray @lizandmollie Be reasonable first then become likable
@AdamMGrant @CurtisPuryear @kurtjgray @lizandmollie I think the main point is that the duty of respect is necessary towards all human beings. However, when it comes to a discussion, every human has the right to NOT respect a viewpoint, especially if that viewpoint is completely distant from their way of seeing things and values.
@AdamMGrant @CurtisPuryear @kurtjgray @lizandmollie I love the graphic! Healthy conflict is about discussing a problem and not about personal attacks. If both individuals have trust and respect, a positive outcome can be achieved.
@AdamMGrant @CurtisPuryear @kurtjgray @lizandmollie The ability to view each other's perspectives based on reason, logic, and fairness leads to solutions with compromise when complete agreement is not possible.
@AdamMGrant @CurtisPuryear @kurtjgray @lizandmollie What if it’s a closed society, based on ethnicity and nepotism/patronage?
