Most Team Conflict Isn’t Personal. It’s Energetic.
We’ve all seen it happen.
A leader assumes someone’s being difficult.
A team member feels micromanaged.
Communication breaks down.
Tension builds.
And suddenly, everything feels personal.
But here’s the truth: most conflict isn’t about personality.
It’s about energetic mismatch.
Why Teams Clash
Every team is made up of different energetic types.
And when you don’t understand how those energies interact, friction is inevitable.
The Generator who needs time to respond — but is rushed into decisions.
The Manifestor who thrives on independence — but is looped into unnecessary meetings.
The Projector who sees everything — but isn’t recognised for their insight.
The Manifesting Generator who moves fast — but is told they’re “all over the place.”
The Reflector who absorbs everyone — but burns out silently.
None of it is wrong.
But without understanding these differences, leaders end up managing behaviour instead of supporting energy.
The Shift Leaders Need
When you bring energetic awareness into leadership, everything changes.
You stop firefighting personality clashes and start seeing patterns of energy.
You create space for people to work in the way they’re designed, not the way you assume.
You free yourself (and your team) from the myth that everyone should operate the same way.
Simple Shifts for Leaders
Get curious about how your team makes decisions — not just what they decide.
Stop expecting everyone to work like you.
Create space for difference — not just diversity.
Recognise and name energetic strengths, even if they’re not always “visible.”
Why It Matters
When you lead with energetic awareness, things get clearer, faster — and a lot less personal.
Conflict gives way to understanding.
Friction turns into flow.
And your team can finally operate in a rhythm that works.
