Most team conflict doesn’t explode overnight.It quietly builds—through frustration, silence, avoidance, sarcasm, and missed expectations—until leaders finally step in too late. By that point, emotions are high, positions are hardened, and productivity is already suffering.In this Leadership TTP video, Jason LeDuc breaks down a hard truth most leaders don’t want to hear: unresolved conflict is rarely a people problem—it’s a leadership failure.This is not a conversation about dramatic blowups or HR emergencies. It’s about recognizing the early patterns that signal trouble long before conflict becomes visible, political, or toxic. Great leaders don’t wait for permission to act. They don’t wait until feelings boil over. They address tension early, intentionally, and privately.You’ll learn why strong leaders focus on patterns instead of isolated incidents—because bad days happen, but repeated behaviors matter. Avoidance in meetings. Silence where there used to be engagement. Subtle resistance. Sarcasm. These are not personality flaws; they are early indicators that leadership must address.Jason walks through how to intervene early without escalating the situation:• Why early conversations should always be one-on-one• How private, neutral framing prevents defensiveness• What it means to lead with impact instead of intent• Why unresolved issues must end with clear next steps• How follow-up checkpoints protect performance and trustDrawing on his experience as an Air Force officer, Jason explains the leadership principle of “praise in public, correct in private”—not as punishment, but as professional respect. Early conversations aren’t about blame. They’re about alignment, expectations, and protecting the team before damage spreads.If you’re a corporate executive, people manager, HR leader, training manager, or startup founder, this episode will challenge how you think about conflict—and give you practical tactics you can apply immediately to keep small problems from becoming organizational failures.Leadership isn’t about reacting to conflict.It’s about preventing it.💬 Discussion question:What’s a tension you noticed early on your team—but didn’t address right away?
