High-performing teams are great at

(a) Disagreeing
(b) Decision-making

It seems logical that (a) tends to be the enemy of (b).
One explanation for this is the "Smart vs Stupid Fallacy"

#thread

What do we likely think & react when others disagree with our views?

a) They're not as smart as we are (stupid)
→ Therefore: lecture them

b) They agree but have a personal agenda (evil)
→ Therefore: counter-attack

This is the "Smart vs Stupid Fallacy"

And what do lecturing or attacking demonstrate?

⚈ our lack of empathy
⚈ we're adversaries rather than allies

And this is why group decision-making is difficult.
