In this episode of For Leaders By Leaders, I sit down with Liane Davey, a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and organizational psychologist, to explore a leadership skill that many shy away from—conflict. Liane is the author of The Good Fight: Use Productive Conflict to Get Your Team and Organization Back on Track among other books. With over 25 years of experience advising Global Fortune 500 companies and teams across industries, Liane has a unique perspective on how to turn conflict into a productive force that drives teams forward.
Liane explains what healthy conflict looks like in high-performing teams and shares actionable strategies to prevent dysfunction and build a culture where teams can engage in the "good fight"—the kind of conflict that leads to better collaboration and outcomes. We also explore the concept of "conflict debt" and the high cost leaders pay when they avoid dealing with conflict.
If you’ve ever wondered how to address the inevitable challenges that come with leading teams, this conversation will equip you with tools to embrace conflict and use it to create stronger, more effective teams.
