What is it about?

Highly engaged workforces thrive on innovation and continuous improvement. To achieve this, managers need to create a team environment where people feel empowered to challenge the status quo and speak up. This is the essence of positive disruption in teams.

Positive disruption happens when we notice a better way of approaching a task, process, or situation and take the opportunity to address it constructively. However, fear of confrontation or mishandling conversations often prevents these moments from happening. Worse, if done poorly, attempts to challenge can create resistance and negativity.

This workshop equips managers with the mindset and tools to create a culture of positive disruption in teams. Managers will learn how to challenge with the right intent, guide critical conversations toward productive outcomes, and address what isn’t working without damaging relationships or morale.

To disrupt positively, timing and intent are crucial. This session will help managers confront issues in a balanced, objective way, ensuring the changes you inspire benefit both your team and the organisation.

What will it cover?

By the end of the session, you will:

  • Define what it means to challenge the status quo constructively and why it’s essential for innovation and growth.
  • Recognise situations where disruption is needed and determine the right moments to address them.
  • Develop techniques for tackling sensitive issues in a way that builds trust and collaboration rather than defensiveness.
  • Master the art of steering challenging conversations with clear purpose, objectivity, and positive intent.

  • Role-model behaviours that demonstrate how to challenge effectively and inspire others to do the same.
