Navigating Conflict in Construction
In this powerful episode of All Things Conflict, we welcome Hervé de Trogoff, Executive Board Member of the international consultancy firm Accuracy.
With deep roots in the construction industry, Hervé brings his experience and perspective to the complex and often tense world of large infrastructure projects.
Construction can be a hotbed for conflict because they are large, multi-layered, and time-sensitive the perfect storm for misalignment and miscommunication. Hervé shares why conflict is almost inevitable, and how to manage it better.
Beyond contracts and legal frameworks, true conflict resolution requires real human connection. We walk through together in this episode why empathy, listening, and understanding are key to moving forward. Hervé speaks about how fear, ego and insecurity often influence decisions more than we realise. We unpack how they show up in high-pressure environments and how leaders can respond.
In a fast-paced, high-stakes world, slowing down can feel counterintuitive, but it’s essential. Discover how creating space for quality conversations leads to smarter solutions and builds stronger teams.
💬 Why It Matters
Whether you’re managing a construction project or leading a team in any field, the lessons from this episode go far beyond the building site. Conflict, when handled with care and intention, can become a catalyst for clarity, connection, and collaboration.
