If there’s one thing that’ll get most managers in a pickle, it’s dealing with conflict in their team. That tug of war. The slight that’s festering. The miscommunication that’s led to simmering, surly and sulky. The bun fight that’s bigger than Ben Hur… Most of us (me included) would rather sidestep the whole messy thing… The post 3 lessons for leaders to navigate conflict first appeared on Suzi McAlpine | The Art of Leadership.

There are five reasons that large projects fail. Wrong projects are ones that defy conventional business rationale, creating outputs that either few people want, that add little to no real value, or that undershoot the desired benefits because they are so difficult to achieve. A second reason is unreasonable constraints — when the effort doesn’t have adequate funding, people, time, or other key inputs.

Curiosity is a powerful practice to infuse into a company’s culture. But managers often limit their definition of curiosity to simply a way to get information. Curiosity, though, can be a more expansive practice — it is a force for connection. We need to move away from “shallow curiosity” and embrace “deep curiosity,” where you unearth stories, values, experiences, and feelings.

The best leaders understand that having the right attitude is a crucial aspect of their leadership that shapes their impact on others.

With the rise of hybrid and remote work, there’s a real danger — unless companies think deeply about what kind of a culture they’re developing — that workers may come to feel like “just another face on the zoom screen.” Employees need to know that their leaders value them and their unique perspective. If employees feel that their ideas and suggestions don’t matter, it’s very hard for them to feel engaged.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
