Listen "Aftab Erfan | Beyond Conflict: Leveraging Polarisation for Team Strength and Adaptability"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive we are joined by Aftab Erfan as we explore cultivating resilience in the face of polarisation.
We start by addressing the basics: what is polarisation and how is it caused? As Aftab delves into these questions, she shares how polarisation within a team can be beneficial when it leads to creative tension. However, finding the correct balance between creative and destructive tension is crucial, and Aftab shares how leaders can facilitate this. Listen as Aftab shares practical strategies and practices that leaders can instil within their teams to achieve this balance. Aftab emphasises the importance of encouraging flexibility within your teams, so that when faced with conflict, the result is enhanced resilience, rather than destruction.
