Rule #5 - Embrace Healthy Conflict

The New Rules of Disruption

In this episode we discuss:

• Why healthy conflict and the ability to surface and resolve disagreements is crucial to being a disruptive leader.
• The importance of honest feedback in creating understanding and building strong relationships.
• How to overcome the awkwardness of giving feedback by setting the stage properly.
• Rather than avoid conflict or confrontations, approach them with the belief that everyone has the best intentions.
• How to maintain healthy relationships while fostering disagree.
• What happens if there isn’t open and transparent ways to deal with differences of opinion and approaches.
• The power of the principle “disagree and commit”.
• Rather than weaken relationships, disagreements done right strengthen and deepen relationships.
