Resilience and Conflict in Leadership and the ROR with Linda Crockett, Joni Peddie, Treena Reilkoff & Barbara Veder

E270 • Aug 16, 2023 • 33 mins

In this episode, Roxanne and her panel discuss the impact of uncertainty, conflict, and trauma in the workplace. They delve into the effects of COVID-19, the importance of a trauma-informed approach, and the role of emotional intelligence in leadership. The conversation also touches on the challenges of incorporating 'softer skills' in corporate structures.

Key Points

  • Understanding the basics of trauma-informed leadership can significantly improve how leaders manage teams, especially in times of conflict and change.
  • Emotional intelligence and self-awareness are critical for leaders to navigate their own triggers and effectively support their teams.
  • Implementing assessments and data can help leaders recognize the value of psychological safety and the impact of trauma on workplace performance.
