I suggest, “You’re Comfortable With Conflict
Leaders must be willing to have a crucial conversation that might feel like conflict, so assess your comfort with dealing with tough conversations. Leaders need to be comfortable to clearly define targets, hold accountability and ensure congruency. When any of that causes weak knees, it often creates avoidance in leaders, which will create more conflict. Confidence is key.” – Christy Geiger MCC, CPCC, Synergy Strategies Coaching & Training
