Conflict Hearty
This leadership principle instructs us on how to redirect “war” into healthy conflict. War puts us in right/wrong and win at all costs, which usually results in attacking or retreating behavior, particularly in high pressure situations. Often this war mode is internal, inside ourselves, long before it’s showcased to others.
With a healthy conflict hearty approach, we learn to:
- Observe the energy coming at us
- Go to discovery to gather more information
- Find a solution together
- Train others to be conflict hearty too
When faced with criticism, rejection or uncertainty, most of us easily can slide into the war mode. It takes courage to stay balanced and present when the heat is on. And that courage can be built with awareness and discipline.
As a leader, learning to be conflict hearty means you get more accomplished, derail less often and develop the courage and ability face greater challenges.
Learning the skill of becoming Conflict Hearty can transform a team from average output to exceptional productivity. This can be learned in a workshop setting or through 1-1 coaching sessions. See below to explore more.
