When people around you agree with you，it improves your confidence and allows you to relax and feel comfortable.Unfortunately，that comfort usually keeps you away from achieving more success in your career，especially when you are in a leader position.So it feels nice to have people agree，but you need some regular conflicts，that is to say，to have people raise different views so that you can dig out the deeper truth and avoid suffering from being too much on just one side.
So do you often share your opinions on most subjects with people around you and encourage them to debate？If yes，set it as a tradition in your company or department.At first，it seems a challenge to create an environment where people are in free atmosphere to disagree and argue，but remember：from sharp conflicts come sound judgments，and from sound judgments come right decisions.That’s because most of the time you have to collect different opinions from different angles to help yourself identify your blind spots before you form the real brilliant ideas.
However，effective debates do not require angry quarrels and embarrassments.So you need to set some ground rules so everyone understands responsibilities，boundaries and rewards.
Rule No.1：The goal of debating is not to win over others but to get to the truth that will allow you and your staff to move faster and better.
Rule No.2：Fierce debating with strong emotion hurts feelings and does harm to teamwork.So repeatedly remind your staff，best with smiles and humors，that this is friendly opinion sharing time for a common goal instead of a battle between two enemies trying with full efforts to beat the other one down to earth.
Rule No.3：All those involved in the debates shall get rewards when the goals are reached，thus they know how much you appreciate their contributions.The more they feel appreciated，the more they’ll be willing to contribute their talents with full heart in the future. 语篇解读 本文讨论了有效的辩论的意义及辩论时应遵循的原则。 1 / 10

MOOCs，an acronym(缩写词) for “massive open online courses”，mark an important，possibly revolutionary，development in education.These courses are online，free of charge，and open to anyone in the world who has a laptop and an Internet connection.Moreover，they are mainly offered by elite universities like Stanford，Berkeley，Harvard and Columbia.
The courses，like normal college courses，are arranged in order by difficulty，enabling students to progress from beginners to the advanced.The courses cover not only a broad range of technical subjects such as math and computer science，but also courses in the social sciences and the humanities.
Though MOOCs are not offered for credit and degree，many students enroll in(选课) the courses for real skills or knowledge which they can put to some practical use.Some students even form online study groups，or in-person groups with students who live nearby.
The format seems superior to the traditional school class.The average quality of the lecturer is much higher，because students do not have to stick with an ordinary lecturer.
Besides，students can roll back or forward—in short，they can go at their own learning speed，which they cannot do in a live lecture.And，of great importance，they do not have to travel anywhere to attend an online lecture.One can obtain a first-class American college education wherever he or she lives and however little money he or she has.
There is a problem of asking questions of the lecturer in a class of ten thousand students，but some MOOCs have solved it by allowing students to post questions online for a vote，and only the most popular questions are put to the lecturer.
In a knowledge era，lifelong learning is not limited to a traditional classroom.Of course，students enrolling in MOOCs cannot be compared with those who are in traditional universities，but we need to rethink what a “students” is.
Students in MOOCs are very clever，have work experience，and in many cases，have already developed a set of core(核心) competences.Moreover，they also offer unique international perspectives(视野) that would be the envy of any school classroom.
