&gt; Sometimes teams are more efficient and innovative when truth wins over harmony.<p>I suspect a confusing of &quot;harmony&quot; as a situation in which people don&#x27;t speak up out of not wanting to hurt someone else&#x27;s feelings with &quot;harmony&quot; where everyone is comfortable speaking their mind as they know their comments won&#x27;t be taken as an attack or unnecessary criticism.<p>The second definition of &quot;harmony&quot; is actual harmony.  The first is anything but.
