Creative Abrasion Is Not a Strategy: How Productive Disagreement Actually Works (and Why Most Teams Get It Wrong) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248438167)

"Creative abrasion" sounds like progress. In practice, it usually means louder meetings, bruised relationships, and the same arguments on repeat.

This book is for anyone who has watched a team:
- agree in the meeting and disagree in execution
- debate brilliantly and decide slowly
- confuse friction with rigor
- call conflict "healthy" while nothing actually changes

Creative Abrasion Is Not a Strategy replaces personality-based advice with a simple operational truth: disagreement only matters when it reliably becomes a decision people can execute.

Inside, you'll learn how to:
- separate preferences vs risks so debates stop circling
- establish decision ownership so discussions end with clarity
- get real commitment after the call (no silent resistance)
- run a repeatable meeting protocol-R.E.P.A.I.R.-that turns conflict into closure
- review outcomes without relitigating the original argument

You don't need more candor. You need a mechanism.
Make the call. Record it. Protect the truth.
