Office fans? Yeah, me too... Great episode on conflict resolution, right? Michael thinks he can solve it with a fight to the death cage match.
How can teams work together and not waste energy on conflict?
The answer is conative strengths. We must understand how each other naturally works. That includes ourselves.
The real business problem isn't that your team doesn't get along. It's that you're burning time and energy on friction that doesn't need to exist.
It's not conflict. It's different operating systems trying to work together without a manual.
Michael needed Kolbe A! It's a WIN WIN WIN. It shows you how each person naturally takes action. Who needs to research before moving forward. Who just starts doing. Who keeps everything organized. Who comes up with the workarounds.
Once teams see this, things click. You're not fighting anymore. You're actually seeing each other's strengths and using them.
