SEASON 5 KICKOFF 🎉  "85% of workers experience some form of conflict regularly." - Harvard Business Review It can be difficult to get along with different groups within your organization that seemingly have competing interests, goals, and personalities. Rather than cooperating, it can turn into competing for power, influence, and limited resources.  When this happens, companies may turn to team-building events or motivational speakers who talk about trust but nothing substantial will change without first understanding and then addressing the fact that many times these groups face challenges because the organizational structure can be set up almost to encourage these departments to dislike each other.  In this episode, we're going to use a piece of the Enneagram that's outside of the 9 types to help us better understand the different departments you're working in and with to ideally give you useful insights to better work through those regular cross-department conflicts.  ADDITIONAL RESOURCES The Instinctual Bias Overview: Preserving: prioritizes nesting and nurturing Subcategories - Securing | Well-Being & Resources | Maintenance Transmitting: prioritizes attracting and bonding Subcategories - Asserting | Broadcasting/Narrow-casting | Impressing Navigating: priorities orienting to the group Subcategories -Trust & Reciprocity | Power/Influence Dynamics | Identity/Status  The Awareness to Action Enneagram Methodology: https://awarenesstoaction.com/enneagram-resources/the-awareness-to-action-enneagram/ Harvard Business Review article mentioned in the episode: https://hbr.org/2018/09/how-to-permanently-resolve-cross-department-rivalries The 4 questions to help departments better understand each other and work better together:  What value do we create together?What do we need from our leadership/organization to deliver that value?How will we resolve conflicts and make decisions while maintaining trust? What do we need from each other to succeed? 💼 BEST-BOSS-EVER SCHOOL IS COMING THIS SUMMER!
