“It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.” - Joseph Joubert

A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.
