Not aggressive.
Not violent.
Not a dick.
Just disagreeable.
Say things like:
Actually, I am not sure I agree with that.
or
Can you explain that in more detail, because that does not sit right with me.
Or simply,
I disagree.
Even if you are not 100 percent sure yet.
I once had an incredible Oil Co boss who would deliberately disagree in meetings.
Not to be awkward.
But to see who actually believed what they were saying.
Who would stand up for their thinking.
Who really understood their own argument.
Who could support and justify their position
Most people folded instantly.
They were not thinking.
They were agreeing.
Sucking up.
Going along with the masses.
And here is the uncomfortable truth.
Being agreeable makes you part of the Masses.
The masses are broke.
The masses are not growing.
The masses live lives of quiet desperation.
The average UK business makes about £13,000 a year:
Who the fuck wants that?
If you want a different outcome,
stop agreeing for comfort
and start thinking for yourself.
Try being disagreeable today.
See what happens.
