What's your approach to resolving conflicts?
Five rules I aim to follow (borrowed from Heart of the Fight):
- No one gets more than 50% of the blame
- Everyone takes 100% personal responsibility for their satisfaction in the outcome
- Express and agree with the truth
- Fight FOR what you want to create, not against what you don't want
- Assume goodwill.
Why Clearbit?
When a company figures out how teams of people can work most effectively together, businesses can really grow. Clearbit lives by that value. I’ve never met a team that is so curious and committed to learning. I’m psyched to be part of the next stage and learning alongside everyone while doing it.
