Harnessing the Potential of Conflict and Fear
FDR said that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. My friend reframed it this way, "the only thing we have to fear is an unhealthy relationship with fear."
After many years of consulting with organizations living in fear and confict, I've come to believe that there is real wisdom in both. Those people who are resisting a big change effort? They know something. Those people who are also fighting about some chronic issue? They both hold important pieces of a breakthrough solution.
Join me in exploring why our deepest sources of conflict and fear are also a powerful source innovation and breakthrough solutions to our world's most pressing problems.
