In this episode, host Mike Horne talks with leadership expert Liane Davey about how organizations can overcome common team dysfunctions such as conflict avoidance, misalignment, and the impact of thought load on performance. Discover practical strategies for fostering healthy conflict, clear decision-making, and achieving true alignment within teams.

 

Key Points:

  • Most organizational issues stem from alignment problems, not talent deficiency.

  • Teams often avoid conflict, which can significantly hamper their performance.

  • Understanding the difference between productive tension and friction is essential in managing team conflicts.

  • Leaders should focus on three pillars: activity, output, and outcome.

  • Conflict debt can develop over time, leading to costly impacts on teams.

  • Clear roles and obligations to engage in conflict are necessary for effective deliberation.
