Healthy conflict is a sign of a strong team. It means people care enough to share ideas, challenge perspectives, and grow together. But when conflict turns into fighting, the workplace suffers. In this episode, we explore the difference between productive conflict and destructive fighting.
 
We unpack behaviors like villainizing coworkers, power plays, copying the boss, and petty competition. Those actions that fracture trust and cripple teams. From the employee perspective, we talk about how to recognize when conflict crosses the line. Managers will learn how to deescalate tense moments and redirect energy toward collaboration. Executives will reflect on how culture and leadership can either fuel or fix fighting.
 
At every level, the solution starts with people, and the courage to choose connection over control.
