Teching is a way of learning
Very good article. I've used that approach to win people over to the company's direction. While I was at Dana Commercial Credit, we had several people that questioned our approach for using the Baldrige criteria for performance excellence (we encouraged their dissent because we learned from it). At differet points in time, I asked some of these people to present our company's direction to new hires, or to visitors, or to managememt. In order to present th ematerial, they were forced to study and internatilze what we were trying to accomplish, and because of that, they could channel their dissention into positive ways to further improve our organization.
