Workplaces are full of interpersonal tension. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, every office or team features people who simply aren’t meant to get along. Organizations are composed of stringent hierarchies, they often rely upon and incentivize competition, and, let’s face it, working requires a level of forced decorum. So, it’s time that we stop ignoring the uncomfortable interpersonal challenges, conversations, and expectations these systems deliver, and instead face them head on.

Roberta Matuson’s prolific career started in one of the least comfortable ways imaginable–being thrown into executive leadership at the age of 24. Through a nearly 40-year career since being put “suddenly in charge,” Roberta has written 7 books, spanning the topics of leadership, attracting and keeping talent, and feedback and communication. She shares her insights on how the greatest leaders set themselves up for success, allowing the resources, people, and opportunities they need to flow naturally to them.
