*** Impact Leaders is a private network for senior leaders. Want to join? Apply here ***

Research consistently shows that one of the most significant predictors of organisational dysfunction is unresolved conflict within executive teams.

Yet it is rarely discussed openly because senior leaders are expected to manage it professionally and privately.

Following previous Executive Pods, the next session will explore what happens when capable leaders disagree.

✔️ Hear how others navigate disagreement with executive peers and senior stakeholders

✔️ Explore the trade-offs behind different ways of responding

✔️ Notice the unspoken dynamics, competing priorities and tensions at play

✔️ Gain perspective on maintaining trust when views, priorities or approaches differ

✔️ Discuss when to push harder, when to compromise and when to let go

✔️ Learn from senior women leading teams, functions, organisations and boards

Designed as a facilitated peer discussion, this session creates space for honest conversations about the leadership tensions that are often felt, but rarely spoken about.
