Ep 150, Fueling Workplaces: Culture, Conflict, & Leadership That Energize

🎙 This week on Conflict Managed we welcome Dr. Rob Lion.  Join us as we discuss:

⚡ Culture runs through everything. Build it with intention, or risk a dysfunctional workplace.

⚡ Leaders set the standard. Composure, best behavior, and clear expectations start at the top.

⚡ Avoiding conflict causes damage. It erodes trust, weakens teams, and wastes time.

⚡ Good habits make conflict manageable. Approach it with consistency, clarity, and purpose.

⚡ Systems and strategy win. Success isn’t luck—it’s built on purpose.

Conflict Managed is available wherever you listen to podcasts and to watch on YouTube @3pconflictrestoration.
