Discussion Questions:

Highlight any other connections between Margaret Heffernan’s ideas and the concepts in our readings or the Roberto article for this learning module’s assignment paper. As always, be sure to provide specific examples from the video and the readings.]
- Do you agree with Margaret Heffernan’s idea that conflict creates our very best thinking? [Feel free to agree or disagree with this idea, but just be sure to use specific points from our readings, and your personal experiences, in your explanation.]
- Based on Margaret Heffernan’s ideas, how can a leader effectively “seek out people with different backgrounds, different disciplines, different ways of thinking, and different experiences, and find ways to engage them”?
