I rarely ever pitch or promote a product in these Leadership Tips, but we are about to launch a new book over here at the Tremblay Leadership Center. Weighing the ethics of selling inside my educational content, against the 1.5 pounds of sheer brilliance contained in Sandbox Strategies for the New Workplace: Conflict Resolution from the Inside Out, I am convinced that the promotion will create more peace, productivity, and profit in workplaces everywhere.
Like building a baby, the conception of the idea of a book is exciting, fun, and takes about 7 minutes for the seed to get planted. Then the hard work begins. Ask any human mom about the nine months of gestation to build a baby, and you’ll hear stories of nurturing, accepting change, risk, and reward.
It takes considerable effort to write a current and relative manuscript post-pandemic, acquire an agent and publisher, and bring this book baby to life. I didn’t do it alone. So many intelligent folks contributed their stories and wisdom, and now, with a terrific publicist behind us, the book is hitting the market on June 15th, 2023.
Below you will find out more, and I hope you’ll consider copies for every member of your team or attendees at your conference. You can even team the book up with one of my epic keynotes, or one of our Sandbox Training Programs, and you’ll have the recipe that so many workplaces (families and all relationships) need today to overcome the high cost of disconnected people.
These strategies will help readers become responsible, influential, and productive problem solvers that will embrace and even welcome conflict with coworkers, bosses, clients, and others. I always say that healthy teams embrace conflict, and healthy relationships discuss and grow through the process of resolution.
Learn to master the eight PLAY NICE strategies and exponentially increase your capacity to:
- Embrace, accept, and welcome conflicting values
- Understand the importance of collaborative relationships for career advancement
- Take responsibility to co-create a winning culture with productive and profitable results
- Empathize with coworkers and even competitors to be the leader others WANT to follow
You will be able to turn conflict resolution inside out and make it a work of play, by modelling the rich anecdotes, relevant analogies, and fun examples of tools (toys) that you’ll recall from your early days. With metaphorical shovels, sand sieves, bulldozers, watering cans, army figures, shade umbrellas and more, the lessons are as creative and constructive as the childhood sandbox, and you’ll be better equipped to build your greatest castle.
There are far more complex issues in our workplaces today, and the tools to resolve current issues are different than those of the pre-pandemic period. Some old tools and some new ones are needed, and like the excitement of a child playing with new toys and old favorites, this book will bring a playful approach to conflict resolution relevant to the new workplace.
