The way organizations handle conflict is about to change, and the companies that recognize it first will have a significant advantage.

Unresolved workplace conflict costs U.S. businesses an estimated $359 billion every year in lost productivity. Not because of lawsuits or turnover, but because people struggle to navigate tension effectively.

In this episode, Jeremy Pollack, Ph.D., shares his prediction for how conflict resolution will evolve over the next decade and why traditional communication and conflict training often falls short. The missing piece? Most approaches assume people stay calm and rational during conflict. Neuroscience tells us otherwise.

Drawing from his new book, Wired for Peace, Jeremy explores:

  • Why conventional conflict training is quietly failing
  • The three forces already reshaping how organizations approach conflict
  • The shift forward-thinking leaders should prepare for now
  • The one question every leader should ask before investing in another communication workshop

Whether you lead a team, manage an organization, or simply want a better way to navigate difficult conversations, this episode offers a practical, science-based perspective on the future of conflict resolution.
