How Leaders Can Turn Tension into Culture Strength

Every leader faces moments of tension: pushback in a meeting, resistance to change, conflict on the team. In Episode 3 of our Make Culture Your Edge series, Chris McAlister and Mark show why those moments aren’t threats to avoid, but rather signals that culture is being tested.

This conversation explores:

1. The three tension points that mirror faith, hope, and love

2. How leaders often react in ways that weaken culture

3. A different way to treat confusion, resistance, and conflict as opportunities to grow stronger

Whether at work or at home, the way you lead through tension will determine whether your culture drifts or becomes your edge.
