Most Conflicts Aren’t About What They Appear To Be

In this episode of Leadership Matters with the People’s Doctors, Dr. Undraye Howard, Dr. Loretta Howard, and Dr. Sheryl White go deeper — beneath the words, the tension, and the friction — to examine what is actually driving the conflicts that leaders face every day. Drawing on research in emotional intelligence, organizational psychology, and lived leadership experience, the Doctors unpack the hidden forces behind workplace conflict: unmet expectations, unspoken values, identity threats, and power dynamics that most leaders never stop to name.
