What a founder can learn
Founder takeaway
Don’t treat disagreement within a product team as dysfunction. Healthy conflict can surface assumptions and improve decisions; your role is to facilitate it constructively rather than suppress it.
Why it matters
A team that rarely disagrees may be withholding concerns or converging too quickly, allowing weak product choices to go unchallenged.
Put it to work
At your next product decision, ask each person to state one concern or competing view before the team commits. What would make it safe to challenge the prevailing opinion?
