#62 - We kick off this week’s episode with a bit of an existential discussion around the use of AI at work and ways it might be able to help teams grow their comfort with conflict. Then, Shane explains the goal of this episode and how it is different from our past episodes about conflict. In this episode, we discuss the stages of conflict. Shane explains what each stage is and how teams go through them at the workplace. He walks through the steps to put a formal conflict process in place, why your goal shouldn’t be to resolve a conflict, and how to get the most out of a conflict. Then, we flip it to the home and talk about the synergy that’s created when you use the conflict process in both environments.
