Generative Conflict

At Potency we encourage those we work with to navigate conflict in a way that is:

  • rooted in your principles and values

  • accountable to your mission, goals, and people within an organization

  • enables us to take effective strategic acton 

Generative conflict can be a type of conflict that is helpful in collaboration, alignment, and working towards common goals or mutual impact.

  • Best used with collaboration

  • Work towards a solution that meets the heart of peoples' desires while ensuring accountability to people, principles, goals, and visions.

  • Strives for win-win-win solutions when possible.

    • This may involve rethinking or adapting your original process or tactics towards reaching a solution.
