The important thing when you have disagreements is not to let things get out of hand. It then could become not so nice then. I think that some disagreement is good to keep things in perspective.

As one of my followers mentioned to me on Twitter, "sometimes we just agree b/c disagreeing can only hinder your career/goals." It's unfortunate that in some organizations, disagreement and career progression have become mutually exclusive.

A symptom of viral "agreement-with-the-boss syndrome" in my agency culture is the preference for the word "challenge" instead of "problem." I like a healthy dose of optimism as much as anyone, but there's a difference between a challenge and a problem. A problem, at least from an engineering perspective, is generally something that must be solved to make something work. Failure to solve the problem is failure. Apollo 13 told Houston they had a problem, not a challenge. They either solved it, or they didn't get back home. A challenge, on the other hand, makes it sound like, gee boss, it would sure be nice and useful and fun if we can do that. But if we climb Pike's Peak (in the car) instead of K2, we'll call it good. Hahaha. The challenge cult is really engaged in reality-avoiding happy talk, and is a sure sign of obsequious toady-hood. Isn't the first step in restoring passion to our work, especially those of us in government, to actually start working on the problems and leave the challenges for the weekend. Man, you struck a nerve and a chord! Thanks! Amen!
