Episode 260: Workplace Conflict is Healthy? A Chat with the “Teamwork Doctor,” Liane Davey
For the past 25 years, Liane Davey has researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance. Known as the “teamwork doctor,” she’s worked with teams from the frontlines to the boardroom, across a variety of industries, and around the globe from Boston to Bangkok. In working with hundreds of teams, including 26 Global Fortune 500 companies, she has developed a unique perspective on the challenges that teams face – and how to solve them.
Beyond her work in the boardroom, Liane is a New York Times Bestselling author of You First: Inspire Your Team to Grow Up, Get Along, and Get Stuff Done and The Good Fight: Use Productive Conflict to Get Your Team and Organization Back on Track. She is also a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and has been sought by several media outlets, including CNN, NPR, USA Today, The Globe & Mail, and Forbes, for her expertise on increasing productivity, enhancing engagement, developing leaders, and as one client put it, “dealing with the damn drama!”
Liane’s clients include Amazon, Walmart, TD Bank, RBC, AMD, Google, Bayer, KPMG, Aviva, Maple Leaf Foods, SONY Interactive Entertainment, and more!
Today, we talk with Liane all about conflict: how to do it right, how to channel it for good, how to not let conflict become a debt snowball, and how to flip the fight for good!
And in September, Liane will kick off our epic boot camp event, skucamp, as our keynote speaker, leading a workshop on how to “Fight the Good Fight” and use conflict as a tool to help move your business forward!
