Encouraging healthy conflict in a remote world

Arguing virtually lacks resolution. Here’s what we can do about it.
April 04, 2022

Two years into working in this remote-hybrid world, it seems that we’re missing something.

It both works… and it doesn’t. We’ve proven we can get our jobs done, but we’ve made trade-offs along the way. We’ve heard plenty about missing the culture and serendipity of passing each other in the hallway, but I want to laser in on one really important missing piece: we’re missing the days of in-person arguments. More importantly, we’re missing the paths to resolution that build lasting relationships.

I miss the arguments.

Let’s say that we have a disagreement. Maybe the discussion gets really heated and it’s still that way at the end of the meeting.
