About this listen

Conflict Managed is a podcast about toxic workplaces and how to fix them. Listen to stories of dysfunction and triumph from different walks of life and professions. Join us on the journey as we talk about the good, bad, and ugly of our work environments and discuss a vision for the future of human-centered workplaces where people are not only treated with dignity and respect but encouraged to be their brilliant selves. Managing Conflict is not magic, though it takes intentional and sustained planning for health to win over chaos in any environment. Conflict is normal and expected. Let’s deal with it.Copyright 2022 All rights reserved. Economics Management Management & Leadership Social Sciences

    This week on Conflict Managed, the tables are turned. Scott Williams, CEO of Discovery Park of America, interviews Merry Brown, UT Martin Ombuds and founder of Third Party Workplace Conflict Restoration Services about her new book, Winning the Generation Wars at Work: Making (Your) Age an Asset.

    • What younger employees can do to be heard without losing clarity or credibility
    • How technology, including AI, encourages every generation to keep learning together

    Conflict Managed is produced by Third Party Workplace Conflict Restoration Services and (usually) hosted by Merry Brown.
