Rebuilding Bridges: How to Turn Conflict into Leadership Currency
Manage episode 486738138 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders, Future with host Amar Elm, we meet Greg Stevens, founder of Alignment Resources, a leadership development firm. Greg’s journey spans from selling cemetery plots door-to-door to pharmaceutical sales before a life coach redirected him toward human potential training. After a grueling 2,000-hour apprenticeship, he launched his firm 26 years ago, blending lessons from programs like Landmark Forum and Crucial Conversations to help Fortune 500 executives and teams navigate complex relationships. His book, Build New Bridges, reflects his mission to repair fractured connections, rooted in his own journey of healing 36 personal relationships.
Greg’s Master Team Program—a six-month blend of group coaching and real-world application—equips leaders to tackle high-stakes conversations while preserving trust. By focusing on emotional management and dual motives (solving problems and strengthening relationships), participants transform workplaces, as seen in a plant leader who reshaped his entire organization’s culture. Greg’s referral-driven success underscores his belief: Great leaders don’t avoid hard talks—they lean in, rebuild bridges, and lead by example.
