Podcasts about disagreeable

The fastest way to lose trust is to “win” with power. We start with a simple question that shows up everywhere from leadership meetings to group chats: how do you disagree with people without becoming disagreeable? Along the way, we call out a pattern that feels normal right now, using authority, volume, or status to force agreement, and we name the real cost: you create compliance, not commitment, and you train people to stop thinking out loud.We talk through why power moves can look effective in the moment but limit growth over time. A team built on yes-people can't adapt, and a leader who always needs to be right eventually hits a wall. One of the most helpful reframes we've ever heard anchors the conversation: do you want to be right, or do you want to be in relationship? We unpack what “relationship” means in a practical workplace sense, keeping enough respect and curiosity to understand another perspective and stay effective together.Then we get tactical. We lean on a simple decision approach that emphasizes options, because options turn conflict into collaboration. You'll hear specific phrases you can use with a boss when you're nervous to speak up, like “I see this differently. Are you willing to have a conversation about it?” and “Can we explore other options, or has the decision been made?” We also cover how to handle peer conflict, how to avoid the stuff-it-then-explode cycle, and how to decide when an issue is truly worth pushing on.If you want better conflict resolution, stronger communication skills, and more psychological safety on your team, hit play. 

What happens when strong personalities clash with relationship roles? In this episode, I discuss disagreeable women and why that trait can be an asset in leaders – but a liability in followers. It's for each person to look inside him- or herself and determine whether he or she has the potential for leadership. Those who can't (or won't) lead have the duty to follow.

Disagree Without Being Disagreeable! Supersize You Annual Challenge Day 103!

Disagree Without Being Disagreeable! Supersize You Annual Challenge Day 103!

Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down for a return visit with J. Jason Hicks — author, technologist, and storyteller — to dig into his new nonfiction book The War of Leadership: Hard Lessons and Practical Truths for Surviving In and Beyond Leadership. Drawing from 30 years in the corporate world, Jason unpacks the uncomfortable truths that no one tells new leaders: the manipulation, the blind spots, the politics, and the quiet treachery of organizational life. Marcus and Jason explore why awareness of dark leadership tactics doesn't make you a bad leader — it makes you a prepared one. They also cover the craft of writing, the role of AI in creative work, and why the human element in art, music, and literature will never be replaceable. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS The Dark Side of Leadership — 2:16 Jason reads the defining passage from the book: "You'll be misled. You will be asked to mislead..." — a raw, unflinching look at how leadership corrupts incrementally, and how good people get drawn into cycles they never intended to be part of. The Blame Game & Double-Edged Sword — 6:23 Marcus and Jason break down how leaders attack their predecessors while their own teams are quietly building a case against them. Leadership blind spots, self-preservation, and the vicious cycle of blame are all on the table. The Message in a Bottle — 12:05 Jason reveals who he really wrote this book for: the bright-eyed, naive young professional walking into the arena with no idea what's coming. This is the intel he wishes someone had given him early in his career. Agreeable and Wrong vs. Disagreeable and Right — 17:57 One of the most quotable moments of the episode: Jason drops the line "It's better to be agreeable and wrong than disagreeable and right — you'll be remembered for being disagreeable, not for being right." Marcus and Jason unpack the tactical wisdom of knowing when to push back and when to let the dust settle. Jason Hicks was born in Deerfield, Illinois, raised in New Berlin, Wisconsin, and graduated from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh where he studied English literature, religions, and early Christianity. While attending a television screenwriting course, he won the department's screenwriting award for a Star Trek: The Next Generation script — then spent the next 30 years successfully avoiding writing while building a career in technology. Upon leaving that career, he returned to his first love and penned Ruin Waters: Bane Book One of the Annals of the Last Emissary, followed by the second book in the series, The Earth, My War. His debut nonfiction, The War of Leadership: Hard Lessons and Practical Truths for Surviving In and Beyond Leadership, draws directly from his three decades in the corporate world. He currently lives in Tucson, Arizona, where he writes, speaks, and coaches on leadership. Find him at linktr.ee/jjasonhicks and on social media @jjasonhicks.

“The problems start when I conclude that only an uninformed, unintelligent, or evil person could hold the view that you hold.” — Julia MinsonIn a sneak preview of the 2028 Presidential election, Andy Beshear called JD Vance the most arrogant politician in America. Vance's spokesperson fires back that Beshear is chasing headlines. Just another disagreeable day in American public life. So how can we make conversation more civil? How to disagree more agreeably?In her new book (out today) How to Disagree Better, the Harvard public policy professor Julia Minson argues that disagreement is not conflict. You and I can see the world differently and have a completely civil conversation about it. The problem is when we decide the other person is stupid, evil, or both.Minson's test case is her own family. Her father-in-law is a retired Army veteran who served in Vietnam and Korea and has voted Republican his entire life. Minson is a first-generation Russian immigrant who came to Denver as a teenager. They disagree on immigration, on ICE, on most of what divides America. The problem, she confesses, is that they don't actually know why the other believes what they believe because they've spent years avoiding the subject. So Minson and her father-in-law make the worst assumptions about each other.Her deeper argument is about the danger of silence. The loudest disagreements get the headlines, but the more dangerous problem is the people who don't dare to speak up — the junior person in the corporate meeting sitting on their hands while a bad decision gets made, the teenager who walks out of the room, the patient who leaves the doctor's office. Minson is honest about the limits of how to disagree better: Putin wouldn't read this book. Some disagreements are not between equals. But most of ours are — and we're terrible at them because we'd rather go to the dentist than spend twenty minutes talking to someone who disagrees with us. Let's hope Minson has sent How to Disagree Better to both Andy Beshear and JD Vance. Five Takeaways•       Disagreement Is Not Conflict: You and I can see the world differently and have a completely civil conversation about it. The problems start when I conclude that only an uninformed, unintelligent, or evil person could hold the view you hold. That's when disagreement becomes conflict — and it's usually based on inaccurate information about the other person's motives.•       We Fill In the Blanks with the Worst Possible Story: When people avoid a topic, they don't actually know why the other person believes what they believe. So they make assumptions — and what they assume is negative. Grandpa doesn't like immigrants because he's a racist. That probably isn't how grandpa would explain himself. Most conflict is bred in misunderstanding.•       Vulnerability Persuades. Bragging Doesn't: If Minson says “we should let in more immigrants because my life as an immigrant is wonderful” — that sounds like bragging. If she says “I struggled to find acceptance and I want to make it easier for others” — that resonates. Sharing why a topic matters to you, especially the vulnerable part, changes the conversation.•       The Real Problem Is Silence, Not Shouting: The loudest disagreements get the headlines. But the more common and more dangerous problem is people who don't speak up because they're afraid the disagreement will turn into drama. In corporations, in families, in classrooms — the junior person sitting on their hands while a bad decision gets made. That silence has real costs.•       Putin Wouldn't Read This Book: Minson is honest about the limits. Her book is for people who want better relationships with people they disagree with. It's not for autocrats. Some disagreements are not between equals. Some people have made clear what their goals are, and thoughtful conversation is not one of them. The book works best where diplomacy already should. About the GuestJulia Minson is an Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and founder of Disagreeing Better, LLC. Her research focuses on the psychology of disagreement. How to Disagree Better is published by Portfolio/Penguin Random House.References:•       How to Disagree Better by Julia Minson (Portfolio, 2026) — out today.•       Disagreeing Better — Minson's consulting practice and research hub.•       Episode 2845: Let's Ban Billionaires — Noam Cohen on the Know-It-Alls, where the disagreement is rather less agreeable.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

This live episode was recorded at the Eudemonia event and features a respectful, on-stage conversation about America's chronic disease crisis and why health has become so politicized. The panel explores root causes from both an individual and population-health lens, including ultra processed foods, stress, and social determinants of health. They discuss how dietary guidelines and school food policies get shaped, why nuance matters, and what changes actually move the needle. The conversation also tackles SNAP, food insecurity, and the debate around restrictions versus incentives. Finally, they address how trust in science can be damaged when complex systems are reduced to soundbites.

Today on What the Flux: In Conversation, we’re excited to welcome Chris Judd - a name that many of you will associate with greatness on the footy field, but whose also created a second act in investing. Chris played 14 seasons in the AFL, first with West Coast and then Carlton. Over that time he became one of the game’s most decorated players. Captain of both clubs, two Brownlow Medals (2004, 2010) as well as leading West Coast to a premiership in 2006. But what many might not fully know is how serious he’s become in the world of investing. Chris founded Cerutty Macro Fund, operating in a macro equity space. In Part 1 of today’s conversation, we’re going to unpack how lessons from elite sport translate to markets, how he evaluates investments, the challenges he’s faced in moving from public figure to fund manager… and maybe even where he’s placing his bets now. _ Download the free app (App Store): http://bit.ly/FluxAppStore Download the free app (Google Play): http://bit.ly/FluxappGooglePlay Daily newsletter: https://bit.ly/fluxnewsletter Flux on Instagram: http://bit.ly/fluxinsta Flux on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flux.finance —- The content in this podcast reflects the views and opinions of the hosts, and is intended for personal and not commercial use.

We can all agree that disagreeable people are some of the hardest to work with, constantly shooting down ideas without providing anything constructive in return. These types of people can quickly put a strain on any organization if left unchecked. However, we need to be careful not to lump disagreement into the category of disagreeable. In this episode Greg and I discuss why people in disagreement are actually the exact opposite of disagreeable, and are a valuable asset to your organization. Watch the video version of this conversation.  My book When Sheep Bite is a great resource for dealing with people who are disagreeing to the point of becoming disagreeable. Check it out!

If you think about it, your personality impacts how you approach your life. The choices you make, the risks you take, the relationships you have. Our personalities create a set of habits, automatic reactions that impact what we think, feel, and do. When we take on new roles, like becoming a manger or a parent, we may find that certain aspects of our personality no longer work for us. As a leader, we may need to be more extroverted, more open. As a parent, more patient, less reactive. But can we become those things? Can we change specific aspects of our personalities? That's the question Olga Khazan wanted to answer. She's the author of the book, Me, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change. Through her research – numerous interviews with scientists and practitioners – as well as experiments she ran with herself on the road to becoming a parent – she learned we can. And that's a game changer for anyone who has dreams of doing or being something different.

While standing firm on your values is essential, constantly opposing ideas or refusing to compromise can alienate others and limit opportunities. In this episode, we'll explore the psychology behind disagreeableness, how it impacts social and professional interactions, and ways to find a balance between asserting yourself and fostering cooperation. Learn how a more agreeable approach can open doors to better communication, stronger connections, and greater success. Tune in to understand how disagreeableness may be silently holding you back.

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with host, Nathan Gershfeld.  Question 1: I had a very traumatic childhood, but I don't blame my experiences with my violent alcoholic mother for any of my stupid adult decisions.  I did those all on my own -- with some help from my parents' genes, of course.  What Dr. Lisle teaches on this topic makes sense to me.  I have a friend who, by any measure, had a much less traumatic childhood.  In fact, I don't think it is fair to say that her childhood was traumatic at all. There weren't any drugs or alcohol in her childhood home, and, according to her, she didn't experience any physical, verbal or sexual abuse. Her physical needs were all taken care of and, at the time, she says she felt very loved by both her parents.  She is no longer close to them.   Looking back over her life at the age of 60, she now believes that her emotional needs weren't properly addressed when she was a child. Consequently, she has recently concluded that her problems stem from an attachment disorder caused by her parents. For the first time, she is calling what she experienced "trauma."  She is convinced that her parents' lack of attentiveness to her emotional needs qualifies as trauma and are at fault for much of her current depression and rage, as well as for her struggle with weight.    My friend is quite disagreeable, whereas I am quite agreeable.   Even among people who truly had a traumatic childhood, I have noticed a pattern:  Disagreeable people are more likely to want to blame someone for their shortcomings and for their life's decisions, whereas agreeable people don't tend to blame anyone.  In this way, it seems that agreeable people may be more readily able to grasp the lessons that Evolutionary Psychology has to offer -- at least in the arena of this important topic of trauma and its role in our lives.  What do you think?   Follow us: YouTube: @beatyourgenes X: @beatyourgenes Insta: @Beatyourgenespodcast Web: www.beatyourgenes.org Doug Lisle, PhD www.esteemdynamics.com Nathan Gershfeld, DC www.fastingescape.com Intro & outro song: City of Happy Ones • Ferenc Hegedus Licensed for use   Copyright Beat Your Genes Podcast

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a disruptive behavior disorder that emerges during childhood or adolescence and is characterized by persistent angry or irritable mood, unruly and argumentative behavior, and vindictiveness. It frequently manifests in hostility toward authority figures. All children display defiant behavior at some point, especially when tired or stressed. Oppositional behavior is in fact normal in toddlers and in early adolescents. The behavior of a child with ODD is much more extreme and disruptive than normal, however, and occurs much more frequently than the type of childhood stubbornness and rebellion that children may display over the course of development. The oppositional behavior of ODD is not only persistent but occurs across a wide array of situations and interferes with children's social, family, and educational life. Give yourself a break and tune in and learn how to identify and manage Oppositional Defiance Disorder!

We're taking it wild in this episode with mountain runner Emily Keddie. Emily is the queen of over 20 FKTs. She is an ultrarunner who never saw her life going in this direction until it did, and now she's en route to realizing her goal of climbing 2 million vertical feet in 2024. She says she is leading with her heart more than ever this year and has learned more than once along the way that sustainable love for and belief in oneself do not come from outward achievement and that imposter syndrome is something that we all experience. 50ks, 100s, 200s, and beyond, Emily has a library of experience that lives within her heart, muscles, and mind. We are grateful to her for flowing her wisdom and experience to all of you. If you enjoy the show, please leave a review on your favorite place to listen to it.

This electrifying episode promises to ignite your curiosity and offer a fresh perspective on the future of sustainable power. Brett doesn't just advocate for nuclear as a necessary energy source—he envisions a world thriving on its abundance, even as our society's hunger for energy grows with advancements like generative AI. Our planet's health and human progress hang in the balance, and Brett makes a compelling case for why nuclear power stands at the forefront of this crucial junction.Unveiling the tangled myths that shroud the nuclear industry, we tackle the misconceptions that have skewed public perception and driven up costs. Who knew the narrative of nuclear energy could be as twisted as the plot of a Hollywood thriller? Listen as we dissect the impact of regulatory capture, incentive structures, and how fear has been more profitable than the energy itself. We also venture into the groundbreaking business models reshaping the nuclear landscape, highlighting how these innovations promise safety and grid independence for energy giants.Buckle up as we tour the audacious idea of 100x global energy consumption using current nuclear technologies. This isn't your typical energy debate—we're talking about revolutionizing transportation and transforming our everyday lives. By the end, we're not just discussing energy; we're questioning the very fabric of societal norms on climate change and resource use. So, tune in, as Bret Kugelmass lights the fuse for an intellectually stimulating journey through the complex world of nuclear power and its vast, untapped potential to reshape our future.Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Bret Kugelmass: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bkugelmassLast Energy (LinkedIn) https://www.linkedin.com/company/lastenergy/mycompanyLast Energy X: https://twitter.com/LastEnergy Titans of Nuclear Podcast: https://www.lastenergy.com/titansofnuclear (available on all major streaming platforms)Titans of Nuclear Podcast: https://www.energyimpactcenter.org/podcast (available on all major streaming platforms)Titans of Nuclear Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@UCd_COc5ZuyLijGpW3dHRHlw Michael Shellenberger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_ShellenbergerStewart Brand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_BrandProducer: Anand Shah & Sandeep ParikhTechnical Director & Sound Designer: Sandeep Parikh, Omar NajamExecutive Producers: Sandeep Parikh & Anand ShahAssociate Producers: Taryn Talley & Jesse DiepEditor: Sean Meagher & Aidan McGarvey#entrepreneur #nuclear #innovation #venturecapital #gotomarket #management #technology #innovators #innovator #product #data #dataanalytics #datascience #revenue #revenuegrowth #founder #entrepreneurship  #analytics #growthhacking #enterprise  #business #bschools #bschoolscholarship #siliconvalley #company #companies #smartgrowth #efficiency #money #sustainability #sustainablegrowth #process #processimprovement #value #valuecreation #funny #podcast #comedy #desi #indian #communityhttps://www.position2.com/podcast/

Easy, enjoyable habits are usually formed with and from things that we naturally enjoy...including the desires of our sinful flesh. Habits of a disciple of Christ are formed as we discipline ourselves to work through and develop what is good in our life even when difficult and/or disagreeable to our flesh. What habits are you developing in your life? Do they point to Christ? Check it out and share to encourage others.

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD and social scientist, Jen Howk, PhD discuss listener questions with host, Nathan Gershfeld: 1. Help! My son just turned 8. He has acquired part of his personality from my mother- he can be loud and will overreact or get really angry about things. This includes being told he needs to stop an activity because we are leaving the house, etc. I am trying to help him manage these outbursts because kids are starting to make fun of him at school for them. Do you have any specific strategies that would help or should I focus more on his diet and sleep? He is normally a sweet boy and these outbursts have improved with age but I feel he needs more support. 2. Is there anything that is the opposite of the ego trap when you have been repeatedly told negative things like that you are worthless and will never amount to anything? If the ego trap is demotivating, is hearing the opposite motivating? If so, can't it also be extremely demotivating as well, especially if your mind is doing a CB analysis of the possibility of success and whether the energy output is worth it, but the people around you are saying that you won't succeed? 3. I have an aunt who is so solipsistic, doesn't enquire about anyone else and is disagreeable. Sitting across the table from her, it's difficult to understand how someone can be so blind to the life of others and narcissistic. She's was divorced by 2 prior husbands. Is disagreeable behavior like this related to the "theory of mind" module and if so can you describe the various demarks on the "theory of mind" bell curve?

Why dating a woman who is easy going and easy to get along with is better than dating a cranky disagreeable women. In this video coaching newsletter I discuss an email success story from a 52 year old former Marine who got divorced after 23 years of marriage. He was dating a woman for the past 3 years who he went to high school with. It was romantic and passionate at times, but could also toxic because she was a jack-in-the-box and often cranky and difficult to be with. He broke up with her in a loving way and shares the night and day difference he is experiencing with a hot younger Brazilian woman he just met. She is easy going and easy to be with and just makes things effortless. If you have not read my book, “How To Be A 3% Man” yet, that would be a good starting place for you.

Have you ever wanted to hear learning experts with different views explore ways in which they disagree? Respectfully, of course.Well, this is our opportunity to listen in on a couple of L&D titans as they debate.Enjoy Guy Wallace and Nick Shackleton-Jones as they discuss and debate the differences in their opinions and approaches in response to questions posed by Gabrielle Bayme and moderated by David James. KEY TAKEAWAYS L&D can´t be all fun and games. It also needs a challenge. Changing someone's performance is not always about learning, other resources need to be used too. Providing effective guidance means you do not need such a highly skilled workforce. People need context, show them how to apply what they learn to their job.

At one point in time, we've all met a guy who has a chameleonic personality who will quite literally change his opinions and world views in real time to mimic that of the girls he's around. They hope that if the girl sees they share the same opinions then they will find them attractive. Makes sense on paper, but it doesn't work in real life. Women aren't looking for an overly agreeable man who only ever tells them they are right, they want a masculine man who isn't afraid to hold his frame and say no. So in today's episode, Mark highlights the importance of being faithful to your opinions, and how being disagreeable sometimes actually helps to INCREASE your attractiveness to women.

The Comedian and the Peaches are in the car, taking a trip to southern Indiana. Come along for the ride! (Our GPS made the recorder glitch between the 13:00 and 14:00 minute mark... But it cleared up after that.) We'll kick it off with a riveting conversation about the benefits of being short--and the disorienting effect of new eye-glasses... Then, let's talk about the evolving role of a mother as her children grow in maturity. She has to be able to shift from "agreeableness" to a more "disagreeable" framework. What are the strengths and weaknesses of Agreeable/Disagreeable People? Typically women are more "agreeable," because they are equipped to deal with infants--who are very needy and dependent and can't be held to a higher standard until they've grown. It's easier to be the least mature person in a very mature system than to be the most mature person in a very immature system. Everyone wants to be the Baby of a very stable family--and no one wants to be the Manager of a whole bunch of babies! Later: We have more to say about Sheila Wray Gregoire, who released a book this week called "She Deserves Better." Why are so many Evangelical MEN afraid to call out these Feminists? Well, short version: they are hesitant for the same reason many women/moms don't want to discipline their own kids. (It feels Too Authoritative.) Books like "She Deserves Better" is creating perpetually immature women...girls who use their tears to get what they want. And, ironically, her whole strategy depends on men playing the role of Mommies who take care of these Baby Girls. Women have a big challenge in raising their children: constantly growing WITH them. "How do we know when it's time to comfort them and when it's time to challenge them?!" That's a very good question. And, just when we start to get a routine that seems to work for everyone, it's time for a growth spurt. When you try to sell a cookie-cutter message to EVERY girl/woman in the church, you are trying to sell a silver bullet formula that won't work for most girls/women. Finally: Being empowered means having responsibility. If you have power, you are capable of abusing it. But no one is warning these women about how to use their power, once it's given to them... Which is a recipe for disaster.-PITSTOP-You can reach out to the Comedian, John Branyan, by emailing nextdoor@johnbranyan.com .

Janet responds to a series of questions from her inbox about some typical behavior challenges parents face. Topics include a child refusing to follow directions, another who stirs up a sibling's emotions leaving the parent struggling to cope with her two upset children at once, a daughter who repeats her parent's foul language, and a son who reflects the mannerisms of his less mature peer. Janet finds common themes in these issues that she hopes will ease parents' minds and help them to respond in the most effective manner. Thanks again to Ritual Vitamins for supporting this podcast.
