The Workplace Revolution 01: Friction Can Support Growth: Is it Time to Shift Our Perspective?


Listen Later

Get ready to flip your workplace mindset with us! In this episode, we’re talking about something unconventional - celebrating those bumps and hiccups at work that we often label as "friction." What if we “challenge” the idea that friction is a problem, and consider how friction can ignite innovation. We'll dig into the impact of communication styles, differing generational expectations, and lived experience on the creative process. Discover how we can craft working agreements that support a diverse set of perspectives and personality types, whether you're an introvert or an extrovert. Plus, we'll emphasize the importance of accountability and respect, focusing on ideas rather than personal conflicts when differences arise.


By the time you finish listening, you'll have a fresh perspective on how friction can be a driving force for innovation, creativity, and teamwork in your workplace.
