How to Force Different Perspectives
When everyone is on the same page about a way forward, it's easy to think we've done our job as a facilitator. That's certainly the end result we're looking for, after all.
The problem is, if we get there too quickly, there's every chance there's been things left unsaid--or unexplored.
๐Ÿ’ญ Group-think may make finding consensus easy, but it doesnโ€™t necessarily bring the best ideas or solutions.
If youโ€™re working with a group that is ALWAYS in agreement, try posing this question:
โ€œ๐—œ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต, ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ฒ?โ€
๐Ÿ’ฅ Forcing a different argument is a great way to unearth new possibilities.
