    Episode 198 – Gloriana Teh: Paradoxical Leadership and Conflict Resolution

    Overview: In this engaging episode of The Fortified Life Podcast, host Jason Davis sits down with Gloriana Teh, founder of Claritás Consulting & Coaching, to explore practical ways leaders can resolve conflict, build thriving teams, and connect the head and heart in leadership. Drawing on her background as a chemical engineer and nearly two decades in industry, Gloriana shares how she uses data, leadership development, and a unique paradoxical leadership framework to equip technical leaders with the tools they need to navigate challenges in the workplace.

    This episode is part of the Tools and Resources series, offering actionable strategies you can apply immediately in your personal and professional life.

    Key Topics Covered1. Connecting the Head and the Heart in Leadership
    • Why technical leaders often face unique challenges transitioning into people-focused roles.
    • The importance of using data and behavioral insight to support leadership growth.
    • How bridging intellectual analysis with emotional awareness creates stronger teams.
    2. Understanding Paradoxical Leadership
    • Defining paradoxes in leadership — balancing qualities that seem contradictory but are actually complementary.
    • Examples like short-term vs. long-term thinking, individual needs vs. organizational priorities, and directness vs. diplomacy.
    • How servant leadership embodies paradox by combining authority with humility.
    3. Conflict Resolution Through the Paradox Framework
    • Identifying communication style paradoxes, such as frankness vs. diplomacy.
    • Why extreme tendencies can cause misunderstandings and erode trust.
    • The concept of “respectful candor” — communicating directly with empathy.
    4. The Dandelion Visual: Addressing Root Causes
    • Conflict is often a visible symptom of more profound value differences.
    • Like a dandelion weed, removing only the surface issue allows the problem to return and spread.
    • The need to address root causes early to prevent wider cultural damage.
    5. From Awareness to Action
    • How the Harrison Paradox Report reveals personal tendencies and blind spots.
    • Awareness is the first step, but behavioral change and practice are essential for lasting improvement.
    • Building conflict resolution “muscle memory” through small, consistent actions.
    6. Practical Steps for Leaders and Teams
    • Recognize value differences that might be driving tension.
    • Be aware of personal triggers to prevent escalation.
    • Use team assessments to appreciate diverse strengths and perspectives.
    • Adjust styles depending on context, dialing directness or diplomacy up or down as needed.
    Notable Quotes“Leadership is full of paradox — balancing short-term results with long-term goals, and the needs of individuals with the needs of the organization.” – Gloriana Teh.“Respectful candor means being direct enough to communicate clearly, but polite enough to maintain trust.” – Gloriana Teh.“Conflict is pesky — if you don’t address the root cause, it spreads.” – Jason Davis.Resources & Links
