I Don't Agree: Why we can't stop fighting - and how to get great stuff done despite our differences - Paperback

by Michael Brown (Author)

As a species, we're well practised at falling out with each other. We may even have a gene for it - certainly, some of us seem to be gifted.

When it comes to finding resolutions, however, things don't come quite so naturally: as much as 90% of all inter-personal conflicts never reach agreement.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

I Don't Agree is a fascinating exploration of new, powerful and surprising solutions to an ancient problem: why we disagree so much. It shows how to sidestep our animosities and get great things done, despite our differences.

Underpinned by cutting-edge research and academic thinking (as well as fascinating real-life case studies and easy-to-use tools), author and marketeer Michael Brown reveals the eye-opening secrets that can lead to better leadership, stronger teams, swifter promotions, more effective collaboration, better organisational culture - as well as radically improving your life outside of work.

Author Biography

Michael Brown is a business founder, a long-term managing director, part of the leadership group of an organisation of over 4,000 people, and a social enterprise pioneer - helping to create, launch and lead what is thought to be the world's first mental health drop-in centre inside a soup kitchen. Michael's interest in the psychology of conflict and compromise arose after spectacularly falling out with his fellow shareholders in a business he led for a decade. The lessons he learned positively informed the culture of his next venture, now an international marketing organisation, and gave rise to I Don't Agree.
