This talk presents powerful lessons from elite tactical units about incorporating constructive disagreement into your leadership approach. Discover a three-step methodology for better decision-making: surround yourself with strong personalities who challenge your thinking, implement "rank off" planning to harvest your team's collective wisdom, and rigorously test your ideas through "red teaming." Through compelling stories and practical insights, learn how embracing disagreement rather than avoiding it leads to superior outcomes and why effective leaders prioritize results over protecting their egos.
