Psychologist John Gottman can predict whether or not a married couple will be together five years later with startling 90 percent accuracy. How does he do it?
He watches them argue.
The ability to engage in healthy, productive debate is not only essential for ensuring a long marriage--it's also the key determinant of high performing teams.
A recently released six-year study cites the ability to manage conflicting tensions as the most critical predictor of top-team performance. Berkeley research shows teams that debate their ideas have 25 percent more ideas altogether and that companies like Pixar embrace healthy debate as a vital part of their performance (in its case to make better films).

A recently reported six-year study revealed that high-performing teams need to be good at this (and it's not so easy).

Empowered employees are the mark of real leadership and the symbol of a healthy company. Whether you're a mid-level manager or a C-suite executive, as a leader, you want the people who know how to take initiative, and do it well. But before you can expect your employees to magically start taking charge on their own, managers need to do their part to unlock potential. Here are five ways you can foster empowerment and score all the benefits that come along with it. Via The Learning Factor

Today teams are more dysfunctional than ever. There is more back stabbing, bickering, gossiping than I have ever seen in my life time. We see it in business, in congress, in communities across the USA and the world. Differences have created battle lines instead of being welcomed as complementary strengths. Why is this? People are generally good, right. Yet clearly people working TOGETHER is wanting. In my research, even top business firms with great strategy, talent, training, product, tech, capital etc. are not really operating as a team – but rather as a breeding place for conflict between people. This is tragic. The human toll and loss in performance is mind boggling. Simply, we have come to a time in our human history where we need to take a deep look at this dynamic and see what is happening and apply new solutions that actually unify, in our communities and organizations.

Listening to teachers talk about teaching in a collaborative learning space – three teachers and up to 90 students as opposed to one teacher and 30 students - and one is struck by how much ‘we’ there is in the teacher voice. There is a firm belief that as a team, they are able to shift student outcomes, raise achievement, and meet the needs of a diverse range of learners. Teachers often cite examples of the advantage of working and teaching together:

This is a great article. It has really helped me when in my Leader of Pedagogy position. The dicsussions and language used between these teachers is a great guide for me when I'm observing and talking with teachers about collaboration. |

As a kid, I always gravitated to disruptors in the music I listened to: Elvis who disrupted the sound of the 1950s; Michael Jackson who disrupted the world of videos in the 1980s. Not surprising since disruption was in my blood. Shortly after he graduated college, my dad left a career in engineering and decided to pursue his passion for music. In the 1950s, his quartet, Los Llopis, disrupted the sounds of Cuba, becoming the first to integrate American rock ‘n’ roll with the rhythms and the sounds of the island.
But today I realize something: My dad wasn’t just disrupting the status quo – he was creating something new: Cuban crossover music. Elvis and Michael Jackson were creators too. Via The Learning Factor

I feel that in Singapore’s context, we have a slightly more rigid education system that often promotes conformity and a structured way of teaching. Students are expected to give model answers that they memorize off their notes and textbooks rather than explore and provide an answer from their own understanding of the concept of the topic. In such a sense, our education system is rather stagnant as we make no effort to progress into the future, instead we are stuck at the same spot and every batch of students go through the same old routine of memorizing standardized answers and simply “vomiting” them out during examination. However, what we fail to comprehend is that students only truly learn and absorb knowledge when we change together, and not stay the same together. We only become wiser when we witness changes around us and when concepts that we learn in textbooks can be applied to our daily lives. Only then can we truly understand them and grow from them. Hence, I feel that parents and teachers should not constantly push their children to “be as good as” their peers or be just like them. At the end of the day, we will become irrelevant in the society if we are simply “just like our peers” because there is no individuality and nothing that makes us unique. What a fast-paced society like Singapore really needs is people who are innovative and are out of the ordinary so that they provide the society with fresh perspectives and ideas that will eventually propel the country forward and enhance its growth.
