Conflict Resolution in the Workplace | Dr. Richard MacGillivray
Conflict in the workplace is inevitable—but how we handle it can determine the health of an organization. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Richard MacGillivray, a retired psychologist with over 40 years of experience, to explore the deeper dynamics of workplace conflict. Drawing from his background in clinical and community psychology, Dr. MacGillivray shares key insights on the root causes of conflict, common communication breakdowns, and the role of leadership in fostering a culture of resolution rather than division.
We also discuss the impact of decision fatigue on leaders, the importance of emotional intelligence in managing disagreements, and how unresolved frustrations can manifest in unexpected ways. Whether you’re a leader navigating team challenges or an employee seeking healthier workplace interactions, this episode provides practical wisdom on resolving conflict effectively and building stronger, more cohesive teams.
Tune in to gain valuable tools for fostering unity and creating a workplace culture where conflict leads to growth rather than dysfunction.
