Navigating Fundamental Differences in Values

This week on Conflict Managed we are joined by Dr. Alex Richardson, Director of the National High School Ethics Bowl.

Join us as we discuss:

• The constant process of negotiating and navigating with others
• Embracing humility and civility in discussions
• Reframing work conflict as a personal developmental feature
• The critical nature of mission alignment
• Descent improves products (and us!)
