BUILD ON YOUR POINTS OF AGREEMENT

Remember: you agree more than you disagree

You agree with each other more than with outside

You live in a bubble

You see the differences more than the similarities

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES

Difference between organisations’ goals?

Is it tactical?

What will work best

Is it personal?

STRATEGIC DIFFERENCES

TACTICAL DIFFERENCE

What are you trying to achieve?

Outcome matters

How will the disagreement affect outcome?

Isolate the disagreement and analyse it

REMEMBER

Listen to everybody – nobody has a monopoly on good or bad ideas

Don’t play politics with block votes

Compromise can lead to better conclusions

Win hearts and minds
