The power of stories – Margaret Heffernan
Most people instinctively avoid conflict, but as Margaret Heffernan shows us, good disagreement is central to progress. She illustrates (sometimes counterintuitively) how the best partners aren’t echo chambers — and how great leaders, teams, relationships and businesses allow people to deeply disagree.

2- What do you notice about the structure of her stories?
3- How does Margaret use her story to introduce her main thesis?
4- How effectively does Margaret introduce a 2nd story to support her thesis?
