Our guest's research highlights the perils of consensus and the value of dissent for the quality of decision making and the creativity of solutions.Charlan Nemeth is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at UC Berkeley. She has taught in the areas of persuasion, team decision making, scientific creativity, corporate culture and innovation. Her most recent book on decision-making, “In Defense of Troublemakers,” pulls together decades of research on influence processes with particular attention to raising the quality of individual and team decisions. Listen as Charlan and Greg talk about listening to the other side of a position, 12 Angry Men, groupthink, and diversity.Episode Quotes:Mission behind her work & bookI think the most important message of our work and the book is that when you hear opposing views that come from a majority, this consensus thing we're talking about, it isn't just whether or not you follow it, which is persuasion. It's how are you thinking as a result? On the diversity of demographic and viewpointThe only way that diversity of demographic works is if there's some kind of a correlation between the diversity of the demographic and diversity of viewpoint.What does diversity really mean So if you just look at the demographics, they're very diverse. But that doesn't get you the stimulation that you're after, because what you really want is diversity of views. The only way that that diversity of demographic works is if there's some kind of a correlation between the diversity of the demographic and diversity of viewpoint. Namely, is it the case that if I bring, say different races that I'm going to hear a different viewpoint? Not if they're all on the same page and have the same motivations and the same ideology and whatever.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Asch conformity experiments - WikipediaCarl Wagner - Strathmore University Business School12 Angry MenAlex F.

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeWith so much fake news flying around on social media and the internet  becoming more and more politically polarizing each day,  it's easy to be worried about whether or not our teens can think for themselves.  On top of online influences, teens are also susceptible to pressure from their peers in real life, who threaten to paint them as outcasts if they hold a minority opinion. With all these forces against us, raising independent thinkers with their own opinions, values, and moral codes is not easy.To make matters even more challenging, psychological studies inform us that humans are fundamentally wired to abandon our own thoughts and observations to conform to majority opinion. Not only that, but we tend to only associate with those who agree with us–keeping us from questioning our assumptions and challenging our own perspectives. If we want to raise teens with strong critical thinking skills, it might be time to teach them the value of disagreeing with others.That's why we're sitting down With Charlan Nemeth this week. Charlan is the author of In Defense of Troublemakers: the Power of Dissent in Life and Business, as well as a professor of psychology at the University of California Berkeley.  After working as researcher and consultant specializing in influence and decision making, Charlan has become an expert on the ways dissent can  be a powerful force in changing the world.In our interview, Charlan and I discuss how even one dissenter can deeply influence the way a group of people approaches an issue. We also talk about why it can be so hard for teens to present dissenting opinions to their peers, and what parents can do to raise  kids who are unafraid to disagree with the majority.Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

We like to get along at home and in the workplace. We don't want to offend anyone. Many view harmony, cohesiveness, and agreement as the building blocks for a great work culture, effective decision-making, and creativity. But they are wrong. Professor Charlan Nemeth, the world's leading expert on dissent, uses 35 years of research to show us why we need rebels. She explains how people with minority opinions need space to express themselves with no compromise. This is a show for the rebels.   Why was this book deeply personal for Professor Nemeth? How far back can Professor Nemeth remember conforming being part of her conscious thinking? Was there a moment when Professor Nemeth thought “why is it like this?” What is the real danger of consensus? Do we carry false beliefs around conflict? The value of dissent does not lie in its correctness. So where does it lie? We argue with dissenters; we question their motives, is this where authentic dissension is important? Do true authentic dissenters, dissent within themselves as well as externally?  Why are there so many people in meetings around the world who want to speak up, but won't? Why does the majority always rule? Do we need the leader to provide protection, to create a safe house for dissension?  Is there a difference between dissension and being a dissenter? The danger with the majority is that they fail to see the bend in the road. We explain. The original rules of brainstorming say, defer judgement.
