Avoid Useless Conflict & Collaborate: Executive Influence

Ethan shares how he got himself fired twice, goes over conflict and collaboration, how to collaborate with difficult people, collaboration tips, how to handle unreasonable demands and aggression, shares book recommendations, and takes top Q&A.

See Ethan's live online course ​Stuck at Senior Manager - How to Break Through to Executive (800+ alumni, 4.7/5 rating, named Maven's Top Leadership & Career course, recommended by Lenny Rachitsky): https://maven.com/ethan-evans/break-t...

Why this topic matters: I've watched leaders destroy their projects and goals by getting frustrated and losing their cool. Learn how to stay calm and encourage collaboration for as long as possible...but without giving in or being beaten down.
