When we talk about cultural transformation in organizations, there is no doubt that leaders and employees (together and separately) play a big role<\/em> in creating a healthy culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In this article, I will discuss my experience and research. Everything I write is based on situations or challenges I face with the commitment to be a better human and help others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sensitive topic is real among many teams, organizations, and relationships. I know people are facing mental issues because of an unhealthy culture that leaders allow, and employees are not taking ownership of their own behaviors.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than anything, my words don\u2019t come from a place of being a victim but from a place of being a part of unhealthy situations. I am grateful to have faced this because now I can be an agent of change in people\u2019s lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let me cut to the chase: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to challenge you about what it means BEING A FALSE PEACEMAKER <\/strong>and how this can be toxic in relationships, in your own life, and in an organization; it can impact results<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell, a false peacemaker is someone or a group that avoids conflict at any price.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be honest; nobody likes conflict.  Yet conflict is unavoidable. From a simple team meeting, among the highest level of the executive board meeting, to a husband and wife relationship, conflicts can happen even during a Thanksgiving family meal over how someone slices the turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But one of the most destructive myths people believes (or want to believe) is that smoothing over disagreements or \u201csweeping them under the carpet\u201d is the normal thing to do to be \u201cprofessional\u201d or \u201cspiritual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, and I can tell by my own experience, small groups, communities, and corporations become unhealthy, and as a consequence, financial results are impacted by this unhealthy culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very few leaders are capable or interested in managing conflicts among their teams (honestly, in some cases, they can\u2019t even manage conflicts in their own homes). Most of them bury the tensions, cover up the issues, and move on. Sometimes, the leader thinks that a quick fix can solve the conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But smoothing over conflicts, ignoring them, or applying quick fixes without allowing the truth to emerge can have terrible side effects. So, if you are living in or working in a FALSE PEACEMAKER environment, be honest with yourself to identify some of these side effects in your life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
