(5.06) When too much conflict is never enough - Leadership & Negotiation.

Send us a message!How many of us feel the urge to run away, hide or simply observe the foetal position when faced with the prospect of conflict? What if we were able to reframe that experience and begin to believe - really believe - that too much conflict is never enough? That conflict is the very fuel that drives both, our own growth and positive relationships with our colleagues?Fiona McKenzie believes just that!However, we don't just need to reframe our relationship to conflict to allow us to find this path. We also need to rethink what we mean by the very word 'conflict'.On this episode, KG and Paul talk to Fiona about her work in negotiation. She is the Founding Director of Resolving Matters, a consultancy that works with teams and leaders to build negotiation skills that are rarely taught to us. Rather than leave it to osmosis or magic, she delves deeply to understand the stakes, surfacing the required skills for the situation and helps leaders practice in the real world.Of course, this wonderful conversation was had over a gorgeous French white: A 2022 Delas Côtes du Rhône, from Maison Delas Frѐres. A juicy and clean drop that makes you want to dance by the right river bank!
