Refereeing your Leaders' Disputes: Balancing tension and harmony

Refereeing your Leaders' Disputes: Balancing tension and harmony

Episode #78 // In our quest to build harmonious teams where everyone works together and collaborates for the common good of the organisation, we sometimes forget how important it is to foster the natural and constructive tensions that are ever present in business.


Having said that, we don’t want the pendulum to swing too far the other way. So what is the right amount of constructive tension to build into your team?


This episode examines how leaders can strike the balance between constructive tension and team alignment, and answers some important questions that leaders commonly have:


  • How can tension between my team members and leaders be positive?
  • How would I know if tensions go too far?
  • How do I manage productive tension, and when do I step in?


We’ve also created a helpful free downloadable for you, the ‘6 Rules of Thumb for Balancing Constructive Tension and Team Alignment’, which you can download from www.yourceomentor.com/episode78.

Your boss wants more with less. Your team wants less, full stop. You're stuck in the middle.
