It happens. Some of our best people are also quite strong minded and want to do things their way, because hey, it worked in the past!

Adolfo walks us through how he solved such a situation.

In this episode we refer to the book Crucial Conversations by Patterson et al., a guide to handling difficult, but necessary conversations in our teams.
