Episode 409: Alignment and agreement, Part 1

Agreement without alignment.  Most obviously, I can agree to something but really, truly do not want to do it. What could help? For the other person (or people) to recognize that I don’t like it. To be respectful. To allow me to have a voice, before the agreement is crafted. To consider – if it is worth it to the others – if there are ways to make the agreement more palatable.

Another possibility is that I genuinely don’t understand the agreement.  What to do? Prevention! Make it possible – easy, even – for someone to say, “I don’t understand”.  Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?
