Leading the Change: lowering the temperature on values conflict at work - PDN1004

Lead with confidence in a divided workplace. Managing values-based conflict isn’t just a “nice-to-have” leadership skill anymore, it’s essential.

Yet many leaders hesitate to step in, afraid of saying the wrong thing, being seen as taking sides, or escalating tensions. When conversations stall, trust erodes, and teams suffer.

How can you confidently navigate these conflicts while fostering real inclusion? Gain practical tools and a proven framework to turn values-based conflicts into trust-building opportunities, so you can lead with confidence, clarity, and impact.

Testimonials

Leading the change has definitely expanded my leadership tool kit. I gained new insights, new thinking strategies, and broadened my understanding of some of the most difficult workplace challenges I anticipate having to face. The course content was interesting, highly relevant to me as an educator and academic leader, and the interactivity with other students was expertly orchestrated, enjoyable and enhanced the learning. Leslie and team have deep and valuable ideas to share, they are innovative educators, and are way out in front tackling this topic.
