Strategy coach and OKR activist Sara Lobkovich brings her distinctive No-BS perspective to the challenging topic of workplace conflict in a recent Society of Saleswomen panel feature. While many leaders focus on identifying and "fixing" problem employees, Lobkovich takes a revolutionary approach by questioning the fundamental assumptions behind employee performance issues. She powerfully reframes the concept of a "bad employee" as someone experiencing a "mis-fit situation" or lacking what they need to succeed. This perspective directly challenges traditional workplace dynamics that often blame individuals rather than examining systemic issues. For executives and program leaders struggling with team friction, Lobkovich's insight offers a transformative pathway to reimagine performance challenges as environmental design opportunities. Her contribution reflects her broader mission of creating workplaces where different thinking styles become strategic advantages rather than perceived liabilities—particularly valuable for turnaround CEOs needing to reset organizational culture and "square pegs" who feel misunderstood in conventional business environments.
