recognizing dissent as a gift
Focusing on inviting dissent, and just enough of it, is
key to efficient collaboration. It sidesteps the pressure to
agree that so often bogs down consensus process
Outliers give the group the gift of the opportunity to benefit from the full range
of wisdom and perspectives that exist within it, and are often
the catalysts for breakthrough moments.
Instead of seeing the outlier as a problem, the way we are
used to, I now see the outlier as the gift bearer – the person
with issues, concerns, or ideas that are often essential for a
group to consider, the one through whom they come to the
group’s awareness. Time and again I have seen that what
drives a proposal forward towards improvement are the
dissenting views.
This is a way to prevent future outbursts of conflict. It demonstrates wisdom and it's a way to check the sustainability of decisions

the fundamental belief in and pursuit of the creative act, and
the acceptance of the inherent risk of stepping into the mystery of the unknown that lies beyond the far too familiar landscape of violence.
