In the world of business management, simplicity is key. In a recent podcast episode, Susan Clarke and CrisMarie Campbell discuss how simplicity can transform conflict and decision-making. They share their journey into Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, where meditation and self-reflection helped them find clarity. Swimming with dolphins became a metaphor for inner transformation. They emphasize the importance of vulnerability and curiosity in conflict resolution and offer insights on making conflict a catalyst for positive change. Partners in work and life, CrisMarie and Susan have spent 20 years together helping individuals, leaders, and teams resolve difficult conflicts, and create strong, thriving relationships and profitable business results. They have been featured presenters on conflict resolution, communication, teamwork, stress, and diversity and inclusion at Fortune 100 companies like Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Google, AT&T and Nationwide, as well as, at organizations such as the Gates Foundation, University of Washington Medical Center, and San Francisco Giants and many others. They are the authors of The Beauty of Conflict: Harnessing Your Team’s Competitive Advantage and The Beauty of Conflict for Couples. They also have a podcast with the same name: The Beauty of Conflict for dealing with conflict at work and at home. Their work and expertise have been featured in notable outlets like The Today Show, NBC, and Shape, The CEO Magazine, and Corporate Board Member. CrisMarie learned growing up that the key to survival was avoiding conflict and instead, focused on achieving and pleasing authority. This became her superpower: taking her to the Olympics, succeeding as the only woman out of eighty Boeing Flight Test 777 engineers, getting her MBA, and becoming a Manager at Arthur Andersen. Susan actively champions the notion that the key to thriving through crisis, conflict, and change isn’t overcoming the problem – it’s living right smack in the mess of it and discovering the resources that lie within you. The gem lies in uncovering the knowing that you are not alone and that you were not, nor ever been, broken.

Mike Kaeding is the CEO of Norhart. Norhart designs, builds, and rents apartments. They are transforming the way apartments are built and managed by incorporating technologies and efficiencies that have revolutionized other industries, and lead to high-quality, cost-effective projects. Mike’s parents started their family business. However, just a few years after joining the business, Mike’s father unexpectedly passed away. Suddenly, Mike had what felt like the weight of the world on his shoulders. He had to lead this business with no preconceived notion of “the way things are done” in this industry. He was struggling to the point where the city briefly shut him down. This shattered his world. Norhart just naively started to solve problems after that incident. And that led to magic. Norhart began changing the way construction is done. Starting with an attractive culture unique to the construction industry they hired the best talent. Together Norhart solved chronic construction inefficiencies, applied techniques from manufacturing, and integrated traditionally unaffiliated trades. This resulted in higher quality and lower cost projects. Norhart’s mission is to solve America’s housing shortage by transforming the way apartments are built and managed. And in doing so we will improve the way we all live.

Nick van Summeren is an experienced leader in the technology domain. He has been leading teams in various roles within the Dutch financial industry. He has also been involved in organizational transformation and coaching senior management. His focus is always on ensuring that technology is delivering business value. Besides his professional career, he has been leading church teams for over 15 years. When it comes to leadership, he argues that commercial organizations can learn a thing or two from voluntary organisations, such as the local church he serves in. Especially in a time where tech professionals can get jobs anywhere they want, and a good salary is a given, it is crucial that leaders in the technology industry grow as leaders. Within the technology industry, the ‘war on talent’ is a hot topic. Leaders are having trouble retaining talent in their organizations, and a good salary is not something they can differentiate on anymore. So you could argue, what is the difference between an employee and a volunteer when a good salary has become a commodity? In Nick’s church, people are led through 3 steps, 1. getting to know God, 2. finding freedom and 3. making a difference. Nick’s equivalent tactic for a business context is 1. knowing your purpose, 2. setting you up for success and 3. making a difference. Nick shares tactics that have proven to be helpful in leading volunteers and maintaining a high quality of output. From the people who make the coffee on Sundays to the people who manage sound, lighting and live streaming, all the way to the Pastors themselves, nobody is paid a thing. How? People want to invest their time because they are becoming better persons by being involved. The focus of leadership is on helping people grow.

Frank started his career at Philips Electronics directly after fulfilling his military service at age 20. Combined that with evening studies. He himself often proclaims not having large theoretical background has the advantage you suffer less from bias to tackle issues – later that was called “being able to think outside the box.” He started in accounting, but quickly saw the opportunities of ICT, just starting up in the early days of his working life. Made the swift from accounting to IT when ERP became hot and happening. Learned a lot from defining a global kernel for Philips – present in 40+ countries. After altogether 29 years of service at Philips, lastly as an architect for accounting, consolidation, fiscal and legal, he switched to the financial institute arena. First at DLL (Rabobank lease affiliate, as IT responsible for innovation) and later to ABNAMRO Lease as an enterprise architect. The various roles forced him to think about how to remain consistent in management support (including reporting of course), as well as how to keep the flexibility to fulfil the spread of local (legal) requirements. And here is where the simplicity journey of Frank began – and he never left that path since. And if there are golden tips on how to achieve simplicity, these are Frank’s; First, you can prepare by knowing very well what are the essential characteristics. In that sense, you really have to master the topic. Essential characteristics can be found “easily” because there is always a clear answer to the question: “which (management) decisions will be influenced if these characteristics are not (or no longer) available?”. Second, once you have the list of essentials, make absolutely sure these are used / registered in the purest form. Pollution equals adding complexity. Nice to-haves are permitted as long as they don’t add complexity = don’t pollute the essentials. With these simple rules, you make everyone’s life easy and simple. However, it takes effort to get to that point but if you can then you can achieve the simplicity nirvana!
