À propos du podcast
Conflict Managed is a podcast about toxic workplaces and how to fix them. Listen to stories of dysfunction and triumph from different walks of life and professions. Join us on the journey as we talk about the good, bad, and ugly of our work environments and discuss a vision for the future of human-centered workplaces where people are not only treated with dignity and respect but encouraged to be their brilliant selves. Managing Conflict is not magic, though it takes intentional and sustained planning for health to win over chaos in any environment. Conflict is normal and expected. Let’s deal with it.

Ep 235, Creating Systems That Motivate People

Notes de l’épisode
This week on Conflict Managed we welcome Csaba Toth. Together we explore:
- Choosing to face obstacles
- Addressing pain
- Information vs transformation: the gap between what we know and what we do
- Choosing to respond instead of react
- “Uncommon” sense
- The problem of low self-esteem
- Derailing behaviors
- Cognitive diversity
- Finding the blueprint
- Happy people (and organizational structures) make more money
Conflict Managed is available wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube @3pconflictrestoration.
Csaba Toth’s work began with a failure that changed how he understood leadership. He lost his first business after assuming that speaking the same language, having strong qualifications, good intentions, and what seemed like common sense would be enough to lead people well. It was not.
That experience pushed him to examine why intelligent, capable people can still misunderstand one another, why some teams thrive while others quietly unravel, and why so many transformation efforts fail despite significant investment. Having grown up between cultures and worked across very different organizations, Csaba saw how personality, cultural background, bias, motivation, and psychological safety shape the way people make decisions and work together.
He founded ICQ Global after noticing a persistent pattern: organizations were investing in training without data, coaching without diagnosis, and culture change without meaningful measurement. The result was often short-term enthusiasm with little lasting change.
Csaba went on to create the multi-award-winning, ICF-accredited Global DISC™, Growth Zone™, and GameChangers frameworks. Together, they help organizations measure nine key biomarkers of high-performing teams, including personality, cognitive diversity, psychological safety, motivation, and the behavioral patterns that can quietly derail performance.

Lynnae Brown is a work navigation strategist. She thinks we need another way to approach work. Something stealthier and sturdier - an approach where we navigate the workplace as it actually is, develop our own way of being inside it, and still do the job well.
Lynnae has spent more than a decade in workforce development, thinking hard about what people needed in order to take care of themselves while working in a system that wouldn't. Most of that work was with people in mental health recovery - helping them move from service users to service providers, preparing them for workplaces that were often as hard to navigate as the conditions they'd survived.
With enough distance, she finally saw the shape of the approach she’d been developing all along and developed three starting points for people who want to begin approaching work differently: 6 Questions offers prompts that help you examine what you actually bring to work, 6 Actions are ideas you can put into action now to create space between you and your job, and BOOT — Brown’s Organizational Orientation Theory approaches workplace disorientation as a structural condition rather than a personal failing.

Kenyada Meadows is a financial services executive, governance expert, and board member with 25+ years leading audit, risk, and compliance across global Wall Street institutions. A Harvard Business School alumnus, Author, and Master Certified Executive Coach (MPCC) with CPA, CIA, and CFE credentials, he helps working fathers and executives succeed without sacrificing their humanity by moving leaders beyond dominance through values-driven governance and emotional integrity.
Kenyada mastered the traditional playbook—outworking, outlasting, outperforming—in environments where pressure proved value and self-sacrifice seemed mandatory. The turning point came when senior leadership responsibilities, fatherhood, and caring for an ailing parent collided, forcing him to confront corporate conditioning's hidden costs and challenge the belief that well-being could survive on the margins.
Through this journey, Kenyada developed a unique approach helping high-performing men lead with wholeness through the Three Pillars of the New Alpha (Home, Work, Self). This framework redefines strength through balance, not control, empowering leaders to lead with purpose, presence, and emotional clarity by recognizing vulnerability as true strength.

Notes de l’épisode
This week on Conflict Managed we welcome Patty Azzarello. Together we explore:
- Learning to deal with scary problems
- How to have everything you want (just not all at the same time)
- What you get when you ask for help
- Networking for introverts
- Resilience in the face of bullying and bad treatment
- The conflict, questions, and issues are present at work. Are you listening?
- Is the negative behavior you’re experiencing annoying or is it dangerous?
Conflict Managed is available wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube @ 3pconflictrestoration
At 35, Patty Azzarello was the most qualified candidate for a job running a $1 billion software business. But she didn't apply. She had already decided - quietly, without anyone asking her to - that she wasn't ready. When a mentor showed her the list of male candidates who had applied without hesitation, most of them less experienced, none of them were more qualified. That moment didn't just change her mind about that job. It changed how Patty understood everything she'd done up to that point.
Self-disqualification is one of the least discussed and most damaging forces in women's careers. Not the glass ceiling - the glass floor women build under themselves before anyone else gets the chance. Patty has spent her career studying it, living it, and now she's written the book on it.
Why Is SHE Still Here? is Patty Azzarello’s memoir of being the youngest GM at Hewlett-Packard at 33, running a $1B software business at 35 and becoming a CEO at 38 - while navigating sexism, imposter syndrome, and the relentless internal voice telling her she didn't belong in the room. It's not a polished success story. It's an honest account of every time Patty nearly got in her own way, and the unglamorous moves that got her through anyway.
Patty has spoken to audiences of over 10,000 at Intel, Oracle, Microsoft and P&G. She is the author of two previous bestsellers, RISE (Random House) and MOVE (Wiley). She isn't a motivational speaker - she's a former operator who has been in the rooms most people only read about, and she's refreshingly honest about what it actually took to stay in them.

Gavin McMahon builds things. Once, it was submarines, sports cars, and steel plants—big, complex systems built on logic and precise plans. But plans have a funny way of falling apart when people get involved.
As Gavin tried to figure out why, one truth became clear: People don’t move without a story. Business is more than just strategy and execution—it is persuasion and inspiration too. So he switched gears, traded engineering for business, and earned an MBA in Innovation, Strategy & Information Technology from the Institute Theseus in France.
Today, as CEO and co-founder of fassforward, he helps companies shape strategy, leadership, and culture through storytelling. Over the years, he’s worked with some of the world’s biggest brands and learned that even the best ideas will go nowhere if they aren’t told well. Now, he’s written a book about it, Story Business: Why Stories Rule the World and How They Can Reinvent Your Business.
In Story Business, Gavin McMahon takes you on a journey from ancient cave paintings to billion-dollar tech unicorns, revealing how storytelling is a powerful—and undervalued—tool for driving business success.

Laura Kriska is a Harvard Business Review contributor, TEDx speaker, and the author of three books on trust, culture, and collaboration, including The Business of WE, The Accidental Office Lady, and her newest work, focused on practical trust-building in today’s organizations. Her article in Harvard Business Review, published in November 2024, was recently selected for a special edition to be released in May 2026.
Her career began at age 22 as the first American woman to work in Honda Motor Company’s Tokyo headquarters, an experience that launched a 30+ year career helping global teams, leaders, and organizations close the “us vs. them” gaps that quietly erode performance, culture, and results.
At a time when workplaces feel more divided than ever—across culture, politics, generations, functions, hybrid vs. in-office, and identity—Laura works with organizations worldwide on what actually creates change. Her approach goes beyond slogans, focusing instead on research-backed, practical actions that measurably build trust. Her work has been featured in Harvard Business Review and highlighted by platforms such as Seth Godin’s ChangeThis.
Laura’s life’s work centers on inspiring what she calls a “WE-building revolution,” moving people beyond awareness into meaningful action that narrows the gaps holding teams and communities back.
