Ep 233, Collaboration or Dominance: Which System Works Best?

This week on Conflict Managed we welcome Dr. Robyn Short. Together we explore:

• What is the goal at work?
• Building resilience to navigate conflict well
• Why navigating conflict is hard
• Intentionally designing workplace systems
• What do you have authority to change, and what can you advocate for?
• Understanding the system you work within
• Patriarchal systems organize around power over and dominance, while matriarchal systems organize around power with and collaboration
• Robyn’s new book, The Matriarch Effect: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Organizations, and the New Logic of Power
