Ep.123: How to Disagree Without Disrespect, and Why it Matters, with Philip Blackett | The Leadership Podcast for the New Manager

07/31/24 • 59 min

Do you often have disagreements at work or with friends?

Have you put much thought into the way leaders and colleagues should disagree, or how to do so without disrespecting each other?

Central to today's episode is an idea that is too easily forgotten in the heat of the moment with all of the modern context and stresses: it’s ok to disagree with someone. Disagreement doesn’t have to mean animosity, disrespect isn’t necessary to explain an opposing view. And perhaps most importantly, the role of conflict or disagreement isn't necessarily about bringing the other person to 'your side' or persuading them they are wrong.

This question is pivotal to effective leadership, great leaders recognise the value in opposing views, see the benefits of healthy confrontation, and are active in the way they encourage and develop these things within their teams. My guest today is Philip Blackett, a consultant and entrepreneur who previously has worked with big companies including FedEx, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America. Philip has authored several books, including "Disagree without Disrespect: How to Respectfully Debate with Those who Think, Believe, and Vote Differently From You" which is incredibly relevant!

Ep.122: Reluctant Resilience, Modern Leadership and the Family Business, with Chrissy Myers | Leadership Podcast for the New Manager

Do you cultivate resilience in yourself and your team?

This week, I'm joined by Chrissy Myers, author of Reluctantly Resilient, CEO of two companies including a third generation family business, and supporter of various non-profits, community projects and philanthropic ventures. We'll be talking about the lessons Chrissy kindly shares from her own career, advice on how leaders can be more resilient to the challenges of work and what it's like to take on a family business. Key highlights for me were our discussions about hiring slow, firing fast, caring leadership and putting people & community before profits or processes.

Ep.124: Managing Conflict, Leading Change, & the Intersection of Leadership and Parenting, with Marcus A. Higgs | The Leadership Podcast

What's the best way to create a culture of autonomy, empowerment, and independence among the people that you lead?

My guest today is Marcus Aurelius Higgs. He is a communication coach who works with parents of pre-teen age kids. He helps to help them to show up better, maintain a meaningful relationship with their children and this may sound like a bit of a departure from the topic of leadership... BUT if you think about those three words - autonomy, empowerment, independence - and the underlying importance of communication and relationships, suddenly the connection is more obvious!

We'll be covering a lot of deep topics in this episode, and some surprising but enjoyable tangents! Marcus has also been a teacher, an author, and has lived and worked in several countries, bringing a uniquely earned perspective on the big questions of leadership. His love of words and launguage are on clear display throughout and I especially enjoyed picking apart the meaning of the word integrity together!
