Welcome to the Leanpub Launch video for Crafting Conflict Volume 1: Managing Saboteur Patterns in High-Performing Teams by Paul LaPosta!
About the Book
A tactical field manual for engineering managers and technical leaders.
You're not here to keep everyone comfortable. You're here to lead a team that can handle conflict without fracturing.
This manual gives you:
* Six saboteur patterns that quietly erode team health (Cynic, Ghost, Hero-Martyr, Passive Burnout, Underminer, False Compliant)
* Diagnostic frameworks to spot drift before it becomes crisis
* Word-for-word intervention scripts for live situations
* Post-conflict repair tools that rebuild trust
* Clear escalation protocols so you know when to involve HR
No personality typing. No HR-speak. No conflict avoidance disguised as empathy.
Just behavior-first patterns, identity-safe interventions, and tools that work when tension is high and minutes matter.
138 pages. Printable tools included. Built for managers who need to act now, not read theory later.
What you get: PDF with full manual, printable worksheets, and pocket reference cards
