Diversity of thought promotes critical thinking.
Study of 232k Wikipedia pages: politically polarized teams generate higher-quality content—on science & social issues, not just politics.
Like minds create echo chambers. Diverse groups have more extensive & constructive debates.

Great leaders should never speak first in a meeting.
Why?
Because people change their opinions based on what people of power and influence say.
If you are a leader and you want real, authentic opinions from others…ensure they speak first before you chime in.

How to keep an open mind:
1. Think like a scientist: treat your opinions as hypotheses and decisions as experiments
2. Embrace confident humility: argue like you’re right, listen like you’re wrong
3. Build a challenge network: seek out people who sharpen your reasoning

“A key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to become lopsided in favor of the biggest egos, the loudest voices, and the most powerful people.”
Another must-read essay for leaders from Adam Grant.

When Balloon is used to replace meetings, it’s transformative. @UScellular's DEI team used async flights to surface insights not heard in exit surveys and build a holistic action plan for declining retention. Consider swapping that meeting for a flight - it'll be worth it. 🎈
