Conflict Resolution Through the Paradox FrameworkIdentifying communication style paradoxes, such as frankness vs. diplomacy.Why extreme tendencies can cause misunderstandings and erode trust.The concept of “respectful candor” — communicating directly with empathy.4. The Dandelion Visual: Addressing Root CausesConflict is often a visible symptom of more profound value differences.Like a dandelion weed, removing only the surface issue allows the problem to return and spread.The need to address root causes early to prevent wider cultural damage.5. From Awareness to ActionHow the Harrison Paradox Report reveals personal tendencies and blind spots.Awareness is the first step, but behavioral change and practice are essential for lasting improvement.Building conflict resolution “muscle memory” through small, consistent actions.6. Practical Steps for Leaders and TeamsRecognize value differences that might be driving tension.Be aware of personal triggers to prevent escalation.Use team assessments to appreciate diverse strengths and perspectives.Adjust styles depending on context, dialing directness or diplomacy up or down as needed.Notable Quotes“Leadership is full of paradox — balancing short-term results with long-term goals, and the needs of individuals with the needs of the organization.” – Gloriana Teh.“Respectful candor means being direct enough to communicate clearly, but polite enough to maintain trust.” – Gloriana Teh.“Conflict is pesky — if you don’t address the root cause, it spreads.” – Jason Davis.Resources & LinksLearn More: Claritás Consulting & CoachingAssessment Tool: Harrison Paradox ReportHost Website: Fortified Life PodcastJason Davis’s Book: Fortified: Being Rooted in God’s Plan for Work and Business (Available on Amazon)About the Guest – Gloriana Teh Gloriana Teh is the founder of Claritás Consulting & Coaching, specializing in equipping leaders of technical teams with data-driven insights and leadership development strategies.
