That vital team member

If you as a leader want a perspective wide

Include someone from the other side

On your team, listen to their views

Respectfully, and then carefully choose

As the team leader, your overall approach

Hopefully you take a decision beyond reproach..

*

You can choose people who side with you

Who support you in everything you do

Unwaveringly, then your deliberations would proceed

Without opposition, it would be smooth sailing indeed..

But if you have someone with opposite views to state

You can expect some friction, some debates

The end result would be more balanced, though

As your opponent has offered the perspective you did not know

*

Don’t just sit in echo chambers with sycophants around

Let opposing voices also make a sound

Both sides of a coin are valuable, therefore

Listen to the other side some more
