What happens when your company splits into camps?
Ken shared a story from one of his sessions: Six leaders were at the table; four were aligned on a growth path but the sales leader dug in and said no which made one more leader start drifting his way. For a company of 70 people, this means the other 64 have to pick a side.
That's how a disagreement between two people cuts an organization in half.
To work through these types of conflicts, there are really only three paths: disagree and commit, live with the divide, or somebody exits.
What we covered:
→ How to tell when a disagreement has lived too long
→ Why ruling by consensus weakens your decision making
→ What disagree and commit sounds like
Thanks for spending part of your day with us! If you know a leader living in a divide right now, send this one their way.
