The I’m right-you're wrong approach sets a powerful context for both parties to get absolutely nowhere. It’s like boxers in the ring, circling each other, each attempting to land a few punches, defend their position, hoping their next punch will be the one that knocks their opponent to the ground, while the crowd roars.
"You're wrong, I'm right" brings to mind a delightful interchange with a colleague of mine, S. We often had great discussions about research approaches, with that pattern. Then one day, S changed his position: "Bob, I agree with you, we must both be wrong!"
Ahh yes...they can be tricky conversations at times. Thanks too for commenting. I'm hoping this platform will be better than the last one I was using. Happy Friday and hope the weekend goes well for you.
