Overcoming disagreements

You just heard a suggestion. Or someone gave you advice. No matter how ridiculous it was, delay response till you understand the following:

• What is the person really saying? Reflect back and paraphrase as needed.
  
• What are the positives that you can take away?
• Is there anything that was said that you do not understand?
• Will you be able to repeat what was said to you?
  

What will happen if you completely eliminate the notion of 'agree' and 'disagree'? What if those words did not exist?

Then all we will be left with is the outcomes we are trying to reach and the recognition of the need to collaborate in meeting them.
