Ask Muriel Anything: Getting Recognized at Work, Managing Team Conflict, and Responding to Tough Feedback

How do you make sure your contributions are recognized when the things you do best seem to go unnoticed?
How should you handle conflict between two employees who don't get along?
What should you do when colleagues describe you as intimidating, even though you see yourself as collaborative and approachable?
In this episode of Ask Muriel Anything, Muriel and her producer, Mary, answer listeners’ questions about navigating workplace dynamics, understanding your value, and becoming a more effective leader. They discuss how to test your assumptions about what your organization values, when to step in to address team conflict, and how to use difficult feedback to expand your leadership range without losing sight of who you are.
