Divergent and dissident people are the key to growth and innovation. However, some leaders demonize the people who raise a problem instead of solving the problem that is raised.

Disruption, change, or growth is often the cause for the issues becoming uncomfortable.

Instead of demonizing people raising issues, celebrate the agitation. If people don't raise issues, consider why not. It could be because they stop believing you care or don't think you want their best ideas. Both are problematic.

Problem spotters don't enjoy bearing bad tidings. However, they do it to advance the organization.
