Why Great Leaders Run Toward Conflict (Ep. 162)

from Rising Tide Leadership Podcast · host Dr. MO

🚪 There's a moment right before conflict hits when your body picks a door for you — and most leaders only know two: avoid it or dominate it. Both feel like leadership. Neither one is. 😬 Rolling solo this month, MO breaks down the third door — the one that actually keeps your best people 🤝 — with two simple moves: regulate, then relate. You'll find out why silence isn't peace 🤫, why the strongest teams argue more (not less) 🔥, what it's costing you every time you dodge a hard conversation 💸, and the one little question that defuses almost any tense moment. Fair warning: you might walk away realizing you're the problem. 😅 Good — that's exactly where growth starts. 🌱 💡 So here's the real question: when the tension rises this week, will you lead the room — or leave it? #Leadership #ConflictResolution #LeadershipDevelopment #RisingTideLeadership #DifficultConversations #TeamBuilding #PsychologicalSafety #EmotionalIntelligence #LeadershipCoaching #LeadWell More of MO: www.rtclc.com https://medium.com/@poorboymo www.youtube.com/risingtideleadership https://buymeacoffee.com/risingtide.mo https://www.linkedin.com/in/poorboymo/ https://www.facebook.com/risingtideculture https://www.youtube.com/@risingtideleadership https://www.instagram.com/rising_tide_leadership/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rising-tide-leadership-podcast/id1546034213 https://open.spotify.com/show/2jUqyH9hTOamOIOAxcO6yH?si=9d0ff2c2b2ae4289   –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Work it out by LiQWYD   / liqwyd   Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://www.audiolibrary.com.co/liqwy...
