Are you open to hearing opinions that challenge your own, or do you find yourself surrounded by people who always agree with you? What could you gain by inviting critical feedback before sharing your own perspective? In this episode, I share why the best leaders actively look for dissenting voices and how doing so leads to better decisions, using examples from both business and science (like Darwin!). Learn how questioning your assumptions can reveal blind spots, prevent costly mistakes, and ultimately help you grow—if you’re willing to listen.

Listen to this new 6-minute episode for practical ways to welcome different viewpoints, and see how asking tough questions can lead to stronger results.
