Navigating Workplace Conflict with Polarity Thinking - Lindsay Burr

Something changes radically when we see conflict not as a problem but as an opportunity to expand our understanding of our shared goal. In this episode, Sharna speaks with Lindsay Burr about Polarity Thinking and how this framework can transform the way we understand leadership, teamwork, conflict, and collaboration. 

Lindsay is CEO of the Yarbrough Group and based in Washington, DC. She has worked in business contexts, international political spaces and in US policy and elections, focusing on helping people clearly see and then navigate the systems that they're in.

You'll learn:

• How Polarity Thinking helps identify both benefits and limitations of two opposing perspectives
• How people can hold different views while still working toward shared goals 
• How “both/and” thinking can reduce conflict by clarifying the real problem to be solved collaboratively
