Want to Be a Better Leader? Invite Dissent.

Leadership sounds simple, until people start pushing back. What happens when leaders invite disagreement instead of avoiding it?Shed and David host a live dinner conversation to stress-test the definition of leadership from Episode 1. Together, with a diverse group, they explore dissent, trust, and why leadership isn’t about titles, scale, or always driving change. The result is a more human, honest look at leading people in real life. You’ll hear:Why inviting dissent builds trust and leads to better decision-making.How power and hierarchy quietly shape who speaks—and who stays silent.Whether leadership requires scale, intention, or even change at all.Why managers matter, business-as-usual work counts, and “better” is subjective.If this episode was helpful, you can download the free tools and resources we reference here — and across the podcast — at shedinspires.gumroad.com.Check out Michael Bungay Stanier's podcast "Change Signal" here - https://thechangesignal.com/podcast.
