HI @onlyjob! In the video you shared, he is speaking about a different topic. My post is about MEDIATION not MEDITATION.
But going back to my video, Considering that workplace conflict is inevitable, what are some specific situations you've encountered where you've seen conflict negatively impact a team's morale or productivity?
I watched the entire video and frankly I did not like it at all. It lacks useful advice. Speakers assume that "conflict won't go away", not even allowing possibility that adults in the workplace could reconcile their differences without involvement of leadership/mediation. That kind of managerial-ism and "safe space" nonsense is exactly what people dislike about leadership.
But worst of all, they don't recognise productive value of disagreements. If subject of disagreement matters, then it is important to argue about it to establish what's right. Reconciling between opinions that 2+2=4 and 2+2=5 is actually harmful because only one statement is true and it might be necessary to acknowledge what is right and what is wrong, especially in the workplace where performance or even success of the project might depend on understanding of such issues. Remember that perfect agreement means that either sides have nothing to contribute to the debate, or that they can't freely express their thoughts (probably due to fear of managerial "mediation"). Concealed ("mediated") disagreements might actually be worse than productive conclusion of a passionate debate.
