How to Disagree with Someone More Powerful Than You
Your boss proposes a new initiative you think won’t work. Your senior colleague outlines a project timeline you believe is unrealistic. What do you say when you disagree with someone who has more power than you do? How do you decide whether it’s worth speaking up? And if you do, what exactly should you say? Here’s how to disagree with someone more powerful than you.
【R1】________
You may decide it’s best to hold off on voicing your opinion. Maybe you haven’t finished thinking the problem through, or you want to get a clearer sense of what the group thinks. If you think other people are going to disagree, too, you might want to gather your army first. People can contribute experience or information to your thinking—all the things that would make the disagreement stronger or more valid. It’s also a good idea to delay the conversation if you’re in a meeting or other public space. Discussing the issue in private will make the powerful person feel less threatened.
【R2】________
Before you share your thoughts, think about what the powerful person cares about—it may be the credibility of their team or getting a project done on time. You’re more likely to be heard if you can connect your disagreement to a higher purpose. State it overtly, contextualizing your statements so that you’re seen not as a disagreeable subordinate but as a colleague who’s trying to advance a common objective. The discussion will then become more like a chess game than a boxing match.
【R3】________
This step may sound overly deferential, but it’s a smart way to give the powerful person psychological safety and control. You can say something like, "I know we seem to be moving toward a first-quarter commitment here. I have reasons to think that won’t work. I’d like to lay out my reasoning. Would that be OK?" This gives the person a choice, allowing him to verbally opt in. And, assuming he says yes, it will make you feel more confident about voicing your disagreement.
【R4】________
You might feel your heart racing or your face turning red, but do whatever you can to remain neutral in both your words and actions. When your body language communicates reluctance or anxiety, it undercuts the message. It sends a mixed message, and your counterpart gets to choose what signals to read. Deep breaths can help, as can speaking more slowly and deliberately. When we feel panicky, we tend to talk louder and faster. Simply slowing the pace and talking in an even tone helps the other person cool down and does the same for you. It also makes you seem confident, even if you aren’t.
【R5】________
Emphasize that you’re only offering your opinion, not gospel truth. It may be a well-informed, well-researched opinion, but it’s still an opinion, so talk tentatively and slightly understate your confidence. Instead of saying, "If we set an end-of-quarter deadline, we’ll never make it," say, "This is just my opinion, but I don’t see how we will make that deadline." Having asserted your position (as a position, not as a fact), demonstrate equal curiosity about other views. Remind the person that this is your point of view, and then invite critique. Be open to hearing other opinions.
【R3】

F
解析
复现结构+无关词排除法。考生首先对本填空所对应的原文段落进行分析,注意到此段落中也出现了明显的转折标志词but,因此考生重点去定位but之后的信息,but之后的信息是it’s a smart way to give the powerful person psychological safety and control,此信息说明了本段落的主旨观点是“给有权力的人心理上的安全感与控制感是一个聪明的办法”。但这个信息还是一个很总体的概念,需要在本段落中进一步明确具体的办法是什么,即“具体用什么办法能让有权力的人获得心理上的安全感与控制感”。本段落的尾部出现了更具体的信息assuming he says yes, it will make you feel more confident about voicing your disagreement (假如他说可以,这将使你更有更自信地说出不同意见),考生综合把握这些线索去剩余的5个小标题中进行对比定位,很容易发现本题答案明显是F项Ask permission to disagree。
