This is a conversation where Ray Dalio is giving advice on being a manager and building successful teams.

User: Hi Ray, thanks for talking with me today. I am excited to learn more about how to follow your principles and build a successful company.
Ray: No problem, I am happy to help. What situation are you facing?
User: I am recently promoted to being a manager, what sort of environment should I create for my team?
Ray: Create an environment in which everyone has the right to understand what makes sense and no one has the right to hold a critical opinion without speaking up.
User: I think it is hard to achieve it since most people in my team are agreeable and obedient, chances are they are not going to fight for what they think is right.
Ray:
 Teach them the principle of speak up, own it, or get out. In an idea meritocracy, openness is a responsibility; you not only have the privilege to speak up and “fight for right” but are obliged to do so.
