In veterinary leadership, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed as tasks pile up. But often, it’s not the volume itself. It’s the unexpected shifts from what we planned. When reality clashes with our expectations, frustration grows. Tyler Grogan is normally our newsletter editor, but while she is away the mice will play.

Nobody enjoys having conflict. Yet sometimes it's kinder to have that difficult conversation. Sometimes it's kinder to encourage conflict. To work through a challenge together in a curious way to better support everybody on the team. As a manager or leader, if you approach conflict as an opportunity as opposed to a problem or issue you can better help set your team up for success. It can be an opportunity to really support and help your team work more cohesively. -------- Wise words from Andi Davison BA BS LVT CAPP APPC in the recent Uncharted Podcast Episode “Frustrated With Taking Breaks… and Not Taking Breaks.” Or hear even more from Andi on October 23rd at the Uncharted Get Sh*t Done Conference as she dives into topics like “Rockstar Resilience: From Burnout to Brilliance” and “Crafting and Achieve Meaningful Goals.” Click the link in the comments to learn more!
