In this episode of ‘The Unstressed Exec’ Podcast, Dr. George Vergolias wraps up the Conflict Mastery series by proposing a transformative approach to conflict.
He discusses how conflicts can be viewed not just as situations to manage but as opportunities for growth. Drawing on the work of Dr. Carol Dweck and Dr. David Snark, he explores concepts like the growth mindset, differentiation, and relational self-awareness.
Dr. Vergolias provides a framework for post-conflict reflection, emphasizing the importance of repairing trust and using conflict as a mirror for inner work. He concludes by advocating for a well-regulated nervous system as a tool for transformational leadership and offers practical advice for turning conflict into a catalyst for personal and relational growth.
