- **Balancing Creativity and Feedback:**

- **Karin Hurt:** "When you have real genuine conversations and are not afraid to bring your perspective to the table, even if the other person disagrees, that's often where real creative breakthroughs happen."

- **Workplace Conflict in Changing Environments:**

- **David Dye:** "70 percent of people said they're experiencing the same or more conflict as they had in the past. The changing workplace is definitely one of the reasons why."

- **Four Dimensions of Productive Conflict:**

- **Karin Hurt:** "Connection and curiosity are so key. If you start by looking for common ground and showing curiosity about what others bring to the table, you can navigate conflict more effectively."

- **Creative Problem Solving:**

- **David Dye:** "One of the GOATs (greatest of all time phrases) for clarity is 'What would a successful outcome do for you?' This helps uncover motivations and craft solutions that work for everyone."

- **Post-Project Celebration:**

- **Karin Hurt:** "Instead of a postmortem, we suggest a post-project celebration to get curious about what worked and celebrate learning, even when things go wrong."
