About this episode

When we ignore conflicts in the workplace, it can actually make things worse. It can make people less interested in their jobs, cause good employees to leave, and ultimately impact the bottom line of your business. Sweeping conflicts under the rug doesn’t make them disappear. It makes them grow and fester which can lead to a toxic work environment and higher turnover rates. So what’s the best way to approach difficult conversations at work so that it fosters a culture of open communication and mutual respect?

 

In this week’s episode, host Donald Miller and producer Bobby RIchards are joined by Michael Bungay Stanier, bestselling author of The Coaching Habit and How to Work with Almost Anybody. A leading expert in workplace relationships, Michael shares his tips on improving emotional intelligence, managing conflict, and using psychological tools to navigate workplace dynamics more effectively. You’ll walk away knowing how to deal with common problems that cause strain at work and how to better handle those challenging situations. Tune in and learn how to turn workplace tensions into opportunities for growth, connection, and collaboration!
