The Power of Agreement

By Gail Hollins Ph.D.

Regarding agreement, there are two forms: positive and negative. Regardless of the form, its effects can be sweeping, affecting individuals, groups, organizations, or communities. Think of a pebble that a child tosses into a pond or a stream. The initial circle widens/progresses and deepens, creating a ripple effect.
