- being uncomfortable calling it (I need to call my own BS and share my challenges)
- getting defensive when called out (but knowing that I just BSed somebody - chances are that when you call somebody out, they know already, too)
I just wrote an article reviewing Jocko Willink's/Leif Babin's 'Extreme Ownership' on LinkedIn. It aligns well - take ownership, in that you give and take.
‘Calling bullshit is a continuum from “we need to strengthen the thinking on this plan” to “we need to stop the train right now.” It’s not “we need to make a few tweaks” – if that’s your feedback, then Slack it and don’t waste people’s time.’
Interesting content for starting to manage disagreements. Wish you had included more content on what to do if the person/group you are disagreeing with pushes back.
I experience both sides:
- being uncomfortable calling it (I need to call my own BS and share my challenges)
- getting defensive when called out (but knowing that I just BSed somebody - chances are that when you call somebody out, they know already, too)
