Culture Conflict

Working with difficult people can reduce your morale, threaten your productivity, deplete your energy, and waste your time. But you don't have to be helpless in the face of other people's craziness! Knowing how to handle coworkers' disruptive behavior is one of the most important career skills you can have, allowing you to become a more valuable employee and a more self-reliant person.

This is a book of practical advice for restoring the vibe when trust has been tested, damaged or even broken. It provides an introduction to the Mindful Improv Thinking framework for initiating, engaging and recovering from the difficult conversations that ultimately strengthen trust. Damaged trust is an inevitable reality of collaboration. Good people get it wrong sometimes. We say the wrong thing, drop the ball, and have areas of needed growth that impact our colleagues in ways unintended. What happens next is what determines culture.
