If you think conflict at work is something to avoid—or outsource to HR—this episode might just change your mind.

My guest, NadeenSivic, has spent nearly three decades leading tech teams across Australia and the UK. She’s known as “the fixer” of messy teams and offers a street-smart, no-nonsense lens on workplace conflict: not as a problem, but as a natural part of work that every manager needs to master.

We talk about:

• Why conflict is not the enemy
• The difference between contrast, friction, and true conflict
• Why most mid-level managers are thrown into the “execution mosh pit” without proper tools
• Nadeen’s dead-simple “Said / Done / Produced” framework you can try in your next Teams meeting

You’ll laugh, nod, and quite possibly see your last team meeting in a whole new light.
