Handling Conflict at Work

Send us Fan MailSo I had a previous video many months ago answering a subscriber's question regarding conflict at work. They were concerned with a list of issues that were ethical in nature and how to handling it. They were a junior employee and wanted advice on what to do. My advice was to just look for a new job. A comment on that video stated that it was good to know finding a new job was the correct solution as there always seems to be a more complex solution that could be better.I didn't mean for the video to come off as a black and white decision. So in this podcast I will discuss more on why conflict at work in complex (politics) and how standing for what you believe is another good approach however often you will have to roll over and deal with continued conflict for your decision to stand and fight. Many times in my career I have stood and fought for an issue. I won some but many ended up becoming complicated and I had to back down so as not to lose my job or create an undesirable workplace.Support the show
