Divide and Conquer: The Hidden Dynamic Killing Your Team’s Execution Pt. 3 | #111
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part 3 of our Hidden Dynamics That Are Killing Execution series, Patrick and Patsy uncover one of the most damaging relationship dynamics inside organizations: Divide and Conquer.
When leaders and team members build alliances instead of alignment, teams become fragmented, trust erodes, and execution slows down. Meetings happen before the meeting, and again after the meeting, while people take sides instead of moving forward together.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
• Recognize the warning signs of divide-and-conquer dynamics
• Understand how alliances can quietly undermine alignment
• Break down silos and rebuild trust
• Create real alignment across your team
• Build a culture where people solve problems together instead of taking sides
If your organization is struggling with stalled decisions, siloed teams, or conversations that happen everywhere except in the actual meeting, this episode is for you.
