Episode notes

In a way, we're married to these people, whether we said i do or not. You have this boss, you love this boss, and he or she is amazing. And then what happens? They move on, either at will or at the employer's will. It's like a neighbour, right? In your neighbor's move yor like, god, crap. I'd better start praying for really good neighbors. We are married, in a way, in a weird way,We're married to the folks that we work with. Have you noticed inner office conflict increased or decreased since most of us have gone remote? Have you made any observations around that?

Josh Mauldin shows us how resolving conflict not only makes us better humans, but better designers. He challenges us to approach conflict with a growth mindset and the question, "What can I learn from this?" to help us become less anti-conflict and more pro-resolution. He articulates the difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict and teaches us why healthy conflict is good and even worth pursuing. He reminds us that it all comes back to empathy which does not mean agreeing with someone, but making an active effort to understand where they’re coming from. He also reveals how embracing conflict is the catalyst for building the best teams, the best products, and the best you.
