#HealthyArguing
 
Choose healthy arguing to build fantastic relationships.

Here's what you need to know:

Healthy arguing is better than inauthentic harmony. Healthy arguing focuses on both the relationship and the process.

Imagine a team where everyone seems to agree in meetings, but members have unspoken disagreements and concerns. They smile and nod during discussions, but they complain privately or feel frustrated afterward. This creates a false sense of harmony because the team isn't addressing real issues, leading to a lack of trust and effectiveness.

Authentic harmony, on the other hand, involves openness and vulnerability. People feel safe to express their true thoughts and feelings. Disagreements are encouraged, leading to understanding, stronger relationships, and better solutions.
​
What have you got to lose? The secret is to genuinely care about others, even if it's an impersonal caring that affirms everyone's importance. That's a healthy relationship.
