In Defense of Troublemakers: The Power of Dissent in Life and Business
Autor Charlan Nemethen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 mar 2018
An
eminent
psychologist
explains
why
dissent
should
be
cherished,
not
feared
We've
decided
by
consensus
that
consensus
is
good.
InIn
Defense
of
Troublemakers,
psychologist
Charlan
Nemeth
argues
that
this
principle
is
completely
wrong:
left
unchallenged,
the
majority
opinion
is
often
biased,
unoriginal,
or
false.
It
leads
planes
and
markets
to
crash,
causes
juries
to
convict
innocent
people,
and
can
quite
literally
make
people
think
blue
is
green.
In
the
name
of
comity,
we
embrace
stupidity.
We
can
make
better
decisions
by
embracing
dissent.
Dissent
forces
us
to
question
the
status
quo,
consider
more
information,
and
engage
in
creative
decision-making.
FromTwelve
Angry
Mento
Edward
Snowden,
lone
objectors
who
make
people
question
their
assumptions
bring
groups
far
closer
to
truth--regardless
of
whether
they
are
right
or
wrong.
Essential
reading
for
anyone
who
works
in
groups,In
Defense
of
Troublemakerswill
radically
change
the
way
you
think,
listen,
and
make
decisions.

Recenzii
"There
are
many
such
useful
ideas
in
Charlan
Nemeth'sIn
Defense
of
Troublemakers,
her
study
of
dissent
in
life
and
the
workplace.
But
if
this
one
alone
takes
hold,
it
could
transform
millions
of
meetings,
doing
away
with
all
those
mushy,
consensus-driven
hours
wasted
by
people
too
scared
of
disagreement
or
power
to
speak
truth
to
gibberish."—Wall
