1
a lot of leaders encourage their people to collaborate, to avoid conflict, and to reach a consensus on how something should be done.
2
But this doesn't harness the constructive tension.
3
It just removes it.
4
And without this, you're extremely unlikely to arrive at the right answer.
5
Welcome to Moments with Marty, your short, sharp shot of Leadership Insight to help you to stay on track between our weekly episodes of the No Bullshit Leadership podcast.
6
Virtually every company has natural tensions built into its DNA.
7
For example, there's the classic friction point between sales and operations.
8
It's easy to sell something, but then your company has to deliver it.
9
Salespeople have a natural tendency to oversell a product,
10
sometimes to the point where it's almost impossible for the company to deliver that product profitably.
11
To find a balance between sales and operations requires a comprehensive dive into these natural tensions.
12
Another example is the natural conflict between a CFO and an asset owner, especially in an industrial business.
13
The CFO wants to minimise capital expenditure because they're monitoring critical metrics like return on assets.
14
The CFO's job is to limit the amount of capital that the business deploys.
15
However, the operators are incentivised to provide asset availability and reliability.
16
So the more capital they have to spend, the less issues they're going to have to manage.
17
And they're also more likely to hit their own KPIs.
18
Which is why it's in their best interests to spend as much money as they can on building
19
and maintaining the company's assets.
20
How do you manage these natural tensions so that people work together to achieve the best outcome for the company, not just for their immediate team.
21
Single point accountability is critical.
22
It has to be clear who the decision maker is for every initiative that your company undertakes.
23
When it comes to higher order issues, like capital investment in assets, accountability often rests with the CEO or the board,
24
because that's the only way you can ultimately resolve the tensions between a chief revenue officer and a COO.
25
But no matter what level the accountability resides,
26
a clear decision has to be made by accountable executive who's in a position to weigh the relative merits of competing positions.
27
If you're a leader trying to balance natural tensions, there are a few cardinal sins that you could make.
28
One of the worst you can commit is dumbing down your team.
29
Now a lot of leaders encourage their people to collaborate, to avoid conflict, and to reach a consensus on how something should be done.
30
But this doesn't harness the constructive tension, it just removes it.
31
And without this, you're extremely unlikely to arrive at the right answer.
32
More often than not, consensus decisions deliver the worst outcomes.
33
Because when you seek consensus, the focus shifts from solving the problem to appeasing the people.
34
It pushes you to the lowest common denominator, and what you end up with is a decision that everyone can live with but no one is really happy with.
35
This is reason number 426 for overcoming your conflict aversion.
36
If you don't learn to sit comfortably in the middle of your team's natural tensions, you'll leave a lot of value on the table.
37
For more depth on this insight, have listened to episode 78 of the No Bullshit Leadership podcast, Refereeing Your Leader's Disputes.
38
We'll leave a link in the show notes.
39
I really hope you enjoyed this moment and that it gives you that extra little spark to be a No Bullshit Leader.

注意したい発音

話し手はthey're, you're, doesn'tなど、短縮形や弱形を11回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。

  • 「sh」と「zh」の音: aversion /əˈvɜːʒən/, friction /ˈfɹɪkʃən/
  • 長い単語（アクセントの位置に注意）: accountability /əˌkaʊn.təˈbɪl.ə.ti/, collaborate /kəˈlæb.ə.ɹeɪt/, denominator /dɪˈnɒmɪneɪtə(ɹ)/, profitably /ˈpɹɑ.fɪ.tə.bli/, expenditure /ɛkˈspɛndɪt͡ʃə/

日本語話者が苦手な音：

  • /r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: collaborate /kəˈlæb.ə.ɹeɪt/, profitably /ˈpɹɑ.fɪ.tə.bli/, resolve /ɹɪˈzɑlv/
  • /v/ — /b/ にならないように、上の歯を下唇に当てる: constructive /kənˈstɹʌktɪv/, aversion /əˈvɜːʒən/, oversell /oʊ.vɚ.sɛl/, dive /daɪv/, availability /əˌveɪ.ləˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/
  • /f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: profitably /ˈpɹɑ.fɪ.tə.bli/, friction /ˈfɹɪkʃən/, comfortably /ˈkʌmftɚbli/

  3. 自分の声を録音して元の音声と比べます。consensus, collaborate, constructiveなどの単語に特に注意しましょう。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
