That's very well said. Thank you. I agree so much.
But some of the hardest conversations any
leader will have, especially when the default
_is_ to keep discussing until everything is
mutually transparent and understood, are
going to be on this theme.
Yeah. And ultimately, it's just a maturity and practicality issue, quite honestly. It is not practical for 100% of team members to be in 100% agreement 100% of the time. And even the most egalitarian manager can't necessarily explain 100% of the reasoning behind 100% of decisions to 100% of the team members 100% of the time. And hopefully each individual team member will realize they are not correct 100% of the time either. Even if those are the ideals to which we aspire.
There are times when we should dig in and defend our decisions to the death (hopefully, figuratively speaking!) but these battles should be chosen and fought carefully and not reflexively.
I think most people generally understand this, most of the time. Spectrum or otherwise.
Which is why I find the linked article so misguided and even insulting. The notion that those on the spectrum are hardwired to be incompatible with authority and everybody else just needs to accept this is just so wrong.
