Early and well-structured: A conversation about confrontation.
In this episode of the comfy chairs, Kate is joined by her father, Charlie, a seasoned leader with experience in higher education, the military, and church governance. Together, they unpack the often-misunderstood relationship between confrontation and leadership. Their conversation explores how direct and kind communication can strengthen teams, prevent unnecessary conflict, and help leaders lead with both clarity and care. From real-time feedback to decision-making under pressure, Charlie shares stories and insights rooted in practice—and in love.
