Ep 207, Helping or Hindering? How We Affect Others’ Growth

April 21, 2026 · 52 min

Show notes

This week on Conflict Managed we welcome Norman Wolfe. Together we explore:

  • The nature of work
  • Is there a better way to design work?
  • People are not “valuable assets”
  • The universality of love
  • Foundational needs we all have
  • Training people not to grow (old thinking)
  • The Living Organization framework

Conflict Managed is available wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube @3pconflictrestoration

Norman Wolfe is the Founder and CEO of Quantum Leaders, and the creator of The Living Organization®, a framework CEOs use to solve execution breakdowns and lead teams in complexity. His work fundamentally reframes why dysfunction sticks around, translating deep systems thinking into tools that help leaders move beyond toxic cultures and into workplaces built on dignity and co-ownership.

With over 40 years of leadership experience—including executive roles at Hewlett-Packard and running a $1.2B business unit—the stories Norman brings are filled with tested wisdom.

Conflict Managed is produced by Third Party Workplace Conflict Restoration Services and hosted by Merry Brown.
