If you manage a group of people — any group of people — you will eventually run into a conflict. But that’s not always a bad thing. In many cases, conflicts can be useful. Diversity of opinion is often needed for growth and innovation. But sometimes, diverse opinions can lead to arguments. If you don’t work quickly to resolve arguments before they turn into full-blown conflicts, you can inadvertently create a toxic work environment.

Years ago in a private training session with John C. Maxwell, he shared a story that forever changed the way I think about managing a team.

He feared that after investing in the growth of his team, they would leave to pursue better opportunities.

Quoting George Orwell is the kind of thing that people who haven’t read George Orwell do. I have read Orwell, and even have a drunken story about Paul Shane signing my copy of the Collected Essays, which was the only autograph-able material I had on me at the time I met him in a pub in about 1990. For another time. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell describes Winston Smith’s realisation that the best books are those that tell you what you already know.

We’ve seen more talk of the glass ceiling in recent years than for some time, and part of the explanation is the way we’re creating false career ladders within businesses which don’t need to be there and don’t really lead anywhere. We are seeing companies trying to retain people in a time of skills shortages and one of the ways they are going about it is to accelerate ‘promotions’ within organisations for individuals to encourage them to stay.
