Summary

Before Jessi sat down with champion debater and disagreement expert Bo Seo, our team would have mostly told you that the goal of a solid relationship or colleagueship is being able to avoid disagreement. But Bo schooled us on the real opposite of bad disagreement: GOOD disagreement! Bo’s work teaches us that avoiding conflict isn’t the best path to good relationships. It’s learning to listen and be heard, keeping in mind that disagreement can be a creative act, and above all else, remembering that our arguments are human, just like we are. Follow Bo Seo on LinkedIn, and check out his book, Good Arguments, now available in paperback. Follow Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn and order her debut memoir.
