In 17 years of business, none of Ezra’s employees have ever quit. Yes, you read that right. If you want to learn how to manage inevitable conflict (and keep your “A Players”), you need to listen to this episode. You will learn how to find out what’s really going on among your teams, how to prevent trouble on the ground, and then how to deal with it when it arises.

You Will Learn:
- What to do when employees start battling each other
- Ezra’s Superpower- that you can learn too
- The opposite of “Quiet Quitting” (that’s just as harmful)
- How to know when it’s time to fire someone.
