About this episode

The episode discusses how productive conflict can strengthen teams by encouraging open disagreement and improving decision-making.

Most teams aren't struggling because of too much conflict — they're struggling because no one is willing to push back. When people don't feel safe enough to disagree, bad decisions get made and good ideas never make it to the table. Building a team that tells you the truth starts with creating the conditions where disagreement is expected, not avoided.
