Conflict costs! We often tolerate or ignore some recurring conflict as an "undesirable, but inevitable" part of the job. Unresolved conflict quietly breeds:
v
Weary and emotionally-drained staff
v
Decreased trust and
backchannel
politics
v
Impacted
time and spending
v
Silo mentalities
v
Lower productivity
v
Customer service problems
Surfacing and harnessing conflict is one of the most powerful and competitive capacities you and your company can develop. It is not just about "getting along" or "recognizing differences". It is about rebuilding your culture around trust and growing your team's capabilities to thrive internally and externally.

Leadership
Ontology
Compassionate Leadership
Leadership in a Postmodern World
At Team Vivid, we believe that a Leader's "Ontology", or focus on what it means to be a leader through mindset, heart and strength, is the most powerful area to drive real change and new behaviors.
People want more than a paycheck. To lead in the current economy, you need to understand the deep seated values and quest for meaning that people bring to the Postmodern workplace.
Management formulas and "best practices" are helpful, but fade over time. At the core of any leadership style is a sense of purpose and being. Some leaders give this momentary consideration, while others do a deeper examination.
Our proprietary framework addresses the realistic day-to-day creative tensions you face, and equips you with new behaviors based upon a real sense of identity and purpose.
