Recommendation

People tend to want to avoid conflict, but business strategist Liane Davey calls on leaders to foster more – not less – dissent within their teams. She believes conflict has many benefits, like fostering healthy relationships and inspiring higher levels of performance. By contrast, avoiding conflict accumulates “conflict debt,” which prevents teams from working together effectively. Using a straightforward, clear voice, Davey offers valuable guidance in how to create everyday moments of productive conflict. Her strategies will help you strengthen your problem-solving skills.

Take-Aways

  • Avoiding conflict creates “conflict debt,” which inhibits productivity.
  • Conflict fosters healthy relationships and protects you from toxic ones.
  • Overcome conflict avoidance by shifting your mind-set.
