Leadership Coach Doug Nathan shares how conflict, while avoided and feared by many, can actually be a constructive catalyst for long term positive change. The key is knowing how to navigate the process: "It's a gift, not a curse, if you know how to unwrap it."

Conflict is the ultimate leadership test, showing whether you revert to controlling behaviors or choose to create psychological safety for genuine learning and growth.
