This PPT slide, part of the 25-slide Leadership Operating Model Design PowerPoint presentation, focuses on the principle of managing conflicts at the constituent level within senior leadership teams. It highlights that conflicts, often dismissed as healthy rivalry, are prevalent among executives and can lead to misunderstandings. These interpersonal frictions, which may include power struggles and disagreements, can hinder strategic transformation initiatives. The text emphasizes that such conflicts, while sometimes subtle, can have a detrimental impact on organizational performance.
The slide suggests that leaders need to thoroughly analyze these conflicts to identify their root causes. It points out that misunderstandings between executives can arise from their extended internal networks, leading to opposition against strategic initiatives. The potential destructive effects of these disagreements are underscored, indicating that they might not be immediately visible, but can significantly disrupt organizational dynamics.
In cases of significant discord, the slide advises that an effective approach for the CEO and other senior leaders is to investigate the situation from a network and subgroup perspective. This involves asking probing questions and gathering relevant data to understand the underlying issues. The final note stresses the importance of analyzing the gathered data to develop conflict resolution and mitigation strategies. This structured approach to conflict management is crucial for maintaining alignment and ensuring that leadership teams can effectively drive transformation efforts without being derailed by internal disputes.
