The best of both worlds.
Business and Arts. These two domains teach us more about why teams fail and how they succeed than any one domain could ever teach us alone. We’ll look to both worlds for insights and best practices, benefitting both from the enormous quantity of research and resources behind business-team dynamics, as well as from the tools and techniques necessary to thrive in cash-poor arts—where conflict is constant, creative innovation is essential, and team survival is most at risk.
An approach to team conflict that you won’t find anywhere else.
The vast majority of team failures can be traced back to misunderstandings about roles, goals, or expectations. From The Five Dysfunctions of a Team to Google’s Project Aristotle, the research and scholarship always points in the same direction: develop vulnerability, honesty, clarity, and communication—shore up “psychological safety”—and everything else will follow.
These principles underlie all of the team coaching work done at Aaron Fischer Leadership. Whether we’re forming new teams, setting team strategy, tackling emergent conflict, or even boosting team creativity, we’ll always return to the key sources of conflict. We’ll get specific about which kinds of conflict we want to prevent and resolve, which kinds of productive conflict we want to cultivate, and how we can navigate all that conflict with confidence and comfort.
When the time comes to resolve conflict, we’ll look to surprising experts for insight: acrobats, diplomats, and high-stakes negotiators. The result is an approach to conflict that you won’t find anywhere else.
