In this episode, we’re excited to talk with Kapil Vashistha, Vice President of Pioneer Division, on a topic many of our listeners and teammates have told us they are curious about—how to lead and manage conflict. Kapil shares how he identifies healthy vs unhealthy conflict, how to nurture relationships after conflict, and examples of him mastering and stumbling in conflict situations. He leaves us with his one tip, stemming from his relationship with his father that helped shaped how he deals with conflict:

“My dad always had this phrase, “learn how to take the heat.” Listen to it. Decide for yourself whether this is going to be unhealthy wasted energy or healthy conflict. Is this something you should do that is going to make you better?”
