Our workplace is full of issues that are complex, multifaceted, and with no clear solutions. In this episode Ekpemi and I discuss the challenges of dealing with complex issues at work. She tells me that good relationships are key, it's important to be clear on what it is that you want, and to take the other person's perspective into account.
