How disagreement became the ultimate workplace power move

How disagreement became the ultimate workplace power move

Published by Daniella Wilson

We live in a difficult age, when employees are encouraged to bring their “whole selves” to work – your personalities, backgrounds and vulnerabilities. Except that company codes of conduct then ask that you leave potentially troublesome things like personal opinions and beliefs at the front door. And yet every successful company needs dissent. It’s the stuff of airport lounge business books that the most valuable employees aren’t the ones who always agree, but the ones who put their hand up in meetings to make an effective challenge. How else do you drive innovation than by disagreement? The innovation trap It’s never easy to go against the grain within an organisation, but it can pay dividends. Just look at the late Steve Jobs (millions of tech bros still do). This year, Apple marks its 50th anniversary. Its “Think Different” motto hints at how it became one of the world’s largest companies today, its visionary CEO rejecting traditional managerialism in favour of creative, often abrasive leadership – even when it got him fired and frozen out of …

There’s a lot of marriage advice out there, but if you want some relationship tips on how to stop fighting so much, you’ll need to start with effective communication skills for conflict resolution. Learning various successful conflict management styles is a skill that can make or break a marriage and is, therefore, extremely important. But the good news is that we can learn how by improving our communication skills. “It takes two to tango”, after all. So when one partner moves into conflict management, the other usually follows or can be coaxed into following along. Couples with excellent conflict resolution skills tend to “wow” most of us. From the outside looking in, they have it all: romance, friendship, loyalty, and many other enviable qualities in their married life. From the inside looking out, as any successful long-term couple can tell you, the “wow” factor took much hard work. Like most married couples, one hopes for a marriage without conflict. Any authority on marriage will tell you right away that it is not realistic nor even desirable. Conflict …

Trump signs order to pay TSA employees after Congress disagreement

A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent looks on passengers queue to go through security at New York’s LaGuardia airport on March 22, 2026. Charly Triballeau | Afp | Getty Images President Donald Trump on Friday signed a promised executive action to pay Transportation Security Administration employees after a bid to end the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security abruptly fell apart in Congress. Trump signed the action with an eye toward easing long security lines at many of the nation’s top airports. “America’s air travel system has reached its breaking point,” Trump said in the memo authorizing the payments. He added, “I have determined that these circumstances constitute an emergency situation compromising the Nation’s security.” Trump said his administration would use “funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations” for the payments. In a statement Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said TSA workers “should begin seeing paychecks as early as Monday.” While Trump’s action could help ease the plight of air travelers, it does little to resolve the DHS shutdown that has jammed …

President Trump urged the United States needs Greenland for national security purposes but both foreign officials argued Greenland is not up for sale. “Ideas that would not respect territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark, and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are, of course, totally unacceptable. And we, therefore, still have a fundamental disagreement.” “How important it is from our side to strengthen our cooperation with the United States. But that doesn’t mean that we want to be owned by the United States.” “We need Greenland for national security. So we’re going to see what happens. If we don’t go in, Russia is going to go in and China is going to go in. And there’s not a thing that Denmark can do about it, but we can do everything about it.” “Donald Trump goes here and there …

President Donald Trump and Denmark have a “fundamental disagreement” over the kingdom’s ownership of Greenland that was not resolved during a meeting with top U.S. officials in Washington on Wednesday, a Danish official said. “For us, ideas that would not respect territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark, and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are, of course, totally unacceptable,” Danish Foreign Affairs Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told reporters after the meeting. “But we also agree to disagree, and therefore we will, however, continue to talk,” Rasmussen said during a news conference at the Danish Embassy. Greenland’s foreign minister, Vivian Matzfeldt, stressed “how important it is from our side to strengthen our cooperation with [the] United States.” “But that doesn’t mean that we want to be owned by [the] United States,” she added. The comments following the meeting with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio came as Trump continues to demand that Greenland become a part of the U.S. Before the talks began, Trump said on social media that …
