Creating a Culture of Constructive Conflict

Molly Mackey

A state of conflict can breed innovation and creativity, so why do so many of us – and by default, so many workplaces avoid conflict? Each one of us exists in a state where personal risk is perceived as threatening as physical risk. This makes bringing ideas out in the open a scary thing to do. Constructive conflict workplaces must be methodically built on a foundation of psychological safety. Those teams who are psychologically safe see better retention, performance and creative problem-solving. This session will show you how to create a culture of constructive conflict.
