" ... 5. Signal your difference of opinion. Now that you’ve invested in listening to and understanding your peer’s point of view, and connected it to the bigger picture, your need to surface a contrary viewpoint may have vanished. If not, before stating an oppositional opinion, first signal you have a contrasting point. Presaging we have something potentially conflictual to say allows colleagues to mentally prepare themselves to process disparate views. ... "
" ... Brands Matter and are Relevant. First, as I have opined in my book, in articles, webinars, podcasts and in social media posts, brands matter, they remain very Relevant to consumers. That’s a conclusion that we can see illustrated in consumer behavior all around us. However, to be fair, there is a school of oppositional thought holding that brands are in decline because we don’t need them anymore to help us make purchase decisions. That’s because the internet provides us with readily available product information and product reviews at the click of a button and, therefore, we don’t need brands to drive trust in product quality or to make purchasing easier, which was always their reason for being.

An innovation creates clinical value when it allows an organization to realize gains in patient outcome efficiency or quality. A similar logic applies to any business.

And, not coincidentally, the thumb's oppositional position allows it to easily touch each of the remaining fingers – a good reminder of their interdependence in value creation. ... "
" ... You’ve probably heard the old adage, “Clothes don’t make the man,” which is at odds with the mission, “Dress for success.” According to research, the latter wins out. Although you can’t judge someone’s character based on clothing and appearance, we do it all the time in the workplace. One fact psychologists agree on with the magician, The Great Houdini is, “What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.” We’re not always aware of this fact, but the link between how we feel and how we appear influences how clients, co-workers and company honchos perceive us.
