Welcome back to "The Word is Leadership," Episode 40! Today, we delve into the multifaceted concept of "discord" and its implications for effective leadership. Drawing parallels between discord in social dynamics and musical dissonance, I suggest that planned discord can awaken us from complacency and generate valuable insights. I reflect on Solomon Asch's conformity experiments, to acknowledge the tendency to prioritise harmony over dissent in group settings and look at how to cultivate constructive discord. I argue that, to succeed, we must prioritise psychological safety over positional safety, encourage profusion over profession, and address points rather than personalities during moments of discord. As we contemplate the question, ‘Do you see discord as division or as a process of unification?’ let's recognise the potential of discord to unite us in pursuit of shared goals.
