Episode notes
Conflict Is Not Always Negative
- Conflict is not inherently bad; it is different perspectives colliding over ideas or goals.
- It ranges in intensity and can be healthy or destructive depending on how it is handled.
Projection And Latent Conflict
- People project their own feelings about conflict onto situations, turning simple disagreements into perceived threats.
- Latent conflict (the elephant in the room) often brews and later explodes if ignored.
A Duel That Was Actually Fun
- A CEO and an executive enjoyed 'hashing it out' publicly and left energized, not offended.
- Observers misread the debate as firing-level drama despite mutual trust and joy.
