True or False 

Recognize the Good in the other persons disagreement. Yes, you're disagreeing with this person. But, rarely is a suggestion of theirs so bad that you can't find a single good thing. 

Before launching right in with your argument, it's best if you can preface it with something that you like about that person's original suggestion -- and then use that as a launching point for your own idea.

For example:I definitely think you're on the right track in saying that we need to improve our customer response time. But, what if we did it this way instead?"
