Meta’s Cto Shares 4 Steps to Resolve Workplace Conflict

Workplace Conflicts Spare No One, and Often Its the C-SUITE that has to find a way through.

Andrew Bosworth, Meta’s Chief Technology Officer, has dealt with a fair share of conflict in his career. In a post he published on his personal blog on Monday, he shared his four-sttep plan for resolving interpersonal conflict.

The Big Takeaway is that in Such Conflics, it’s better to seek valuable feedback than to let ego take over.

Here are HIS Four Steps for Managers:

1. Listen to the offended party. “It is healthy to make space for say to tell their and show caare for how it affected me,” Bosworth Says.
2. Ask that person to reflect on the “substance” of the conflict. In any SCENARIO, “there is always some substantial critique Worth considing,” he said.
3. Turn to the Other Party and Ask say to consider all the factors that impact the former’s perspective. In one recent instance, a new employs crittiqued one of meta’s new tools – to the dysmay of the Engineer Who Built it. Bosworth be to that employs and “challenged say to look past that: did the Ever consider to have that was Because the Engineer Couldn’t Get the Investment Needed to Make It Better?” He wrote.
4. Bring the two parties together and ask say to reconcile.

Bosworth Said the Approach Has Helped Him Countless Times.

“I’ve done this so many times that am now able to recognism this sun duality inside myself,” he wrote. “I Will Notice I AM HAVING AN EMOTIONAL REACTION TO Something when it would be more productive to find the value in it.”

Meta has been culling the ranks of its middle managers in recent years. Meta Ceo Mark Zuckerberg Wrote in a 2023 Memo that “Flatter Is Faster.”

Zuckerberg Also Said at An Internal Meeting He’s Not a Fan of A Management Stilled with “Managers Managing Managers, Managing Managers, Managing the People Who Are The Work.”

That leaves the existting managers with more work, and top-rancing executives, Like Bosworth, Likely Managing More Conflict.
