    What's Your Conflict Style?

    In this episode, I respond to a listener question about whether forging common ground is ultimately about individuals or systems — and explain why I see it as both. I explore how individual skills form the foundation for larger cultural and systemic change, and why leaders play a critical role in scaling those skills across organizations. I also clarify a key concept from the previous episode: the difference between communication styles and conflict styles. Drawing on the Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory (ICS), I introduce a simple two-dimensional model and walk you through how to identify your own baseline conflict style. Along the way, I explain why conflict triggers habitual behavior, why context matters, and why high-trust relationships offer the clearest window into how we actually show up in conflict. Finally, I offer you the opportunity to take the full ICS assessment. This pod is all about community. Let's build this thing together!

    "We'll talk about it tomorrow" means...what?

    I close the loop on communication styles and why they're a case study for a much deeper issue: seeing ourselves as the source of...well, pretty much everything. That is, if we're serious about forging common ground. This pod is all about community. Let's build this thing together!

    What does brain management have to do with communication styles?

    In this episode of Forging Common Ground, I reflect on feedback from the previous episode, focusing on gender and generational differences in the workplace. I discuss the importance of understanding communication styles, particularly the tension between direct and indirect communicators, and how these differences can lead to misunderstandings. And I address the need for leaders to create environments that foster open communication psychological safety. In the episode I refer to two blog posts from last fall, which you can find here and here. I also refer to the work of Susan David. This pod is all about community. Let's build this thing together!
