About this webinar:

Conflict at work can often trigger unproductive “fear-based” responses. However, without conflict, we miss out on different perspectives which can result in healthy collaboration, innovation and prevention of costly mistakes.

How can you foster healthy, fact-driven conflict when working in remote and hybrid teams? How does the tech talent shortage and speed of growth that tech teams experience impact team performance?

Hear from Dr. Thomas O'Neill, organizational psychologist, remote work researcher, and world-renowned high-performing teams expert, and Teamit President & Co-Founder, Alistair Shepherd-Cross.
