  • How to Master Drama-Free Conflict Resolution | #4

    In leadership and work, one thing's for sure - where there are people, there's bound to be conflict. It's just part of the deal. But here's the kicker: let that conflict simmer, and it's an instant culture killer. I don’t have to tell you this though, right? This is a part of your day-to-day. It's probably one of, if not your absolute, least favorite parts of the job. So, what should you do when the “elephant in the room” of conflict arises? Get in the middle of it? Try to fix it? Tell everyone to play nice? Fire the troublemakers? Ignore it? Whether you're witnessing conflicts among team members or finding yourself in the midst of one, there's an approach that will tackle it head-on, while prioritizing everyone's well-being and minimizing drama rather than escalating it. Sound good? Let’s get to it!

  • The Secret to a Team that Thrives on Feedback | #2

    Leaders spend a lot of energy trying to figure out how to be the best givers of feedback.

    So as leaders who want to build healthy cultures with great feedback systems, what are we supposed to do if we can't change people and we can't change how they receive feedback? That's what we're discussing today!
