109 - The Good Fight With Dr. Liane Davey

"It' in our DNA to care for others, cheer others on, help others, and inspire others."  -Larry Cockerel I, like you, have been on a lot of teams in my life.  I've been on good teams, bad teams, teams that have done very little and teams that have kicked some ass.  I have not, however, been on a team where conflict is not present.  In some way, shape, or form...conflict is there. Conflict can get a bad rap within the business world.  We're always talking about how to get along with difficult people but what if it's just a difficult situation with a lot of different personalities?   On this week's episode I'm talking to Dr. Liane Davey and we're discussing the new book she has coming out called, The Good Fight! It's about managing and harnessing the power of conflict within your team.  Conflict is good.  Without it, we'd never get anywhere!  ENJOY!
