How to Handle Conflict Without Destroying Your Team (And Avoid Killing Your Business)
Mon Jan 26 2026
If your team avoids confrontation, you're not addressing real problems. You're just letting them pile up until something breaks.
Tikis and I walk through a real conflict that happened hours before we recorded—how we handled it, why we didn't let emotions run the conversation, and how we resolved a major issue in under an hour.
We break down the difference between confronting the problem and attacking the person. Why playing the blame game is a complete waste of time.
And how high-performing teams use tension to pull each other up to a higher standard instead of tearing each other down.
If you're struggling with accountability on your team, avoiding hard conversations because you don't know how to handle them, or dealing with performance issues that never seem to get resolved—this episode will give you a framework that actually works.
Watch the full episode to see how we handle conflict in real time.
