Is there a Pac-Man situation happening for you at work?! ?️
One person chases harder, the other shuts down and runs away… and the cycle repeats.
In the latest episode of ‘The Leader in You’ podcast, Dr Lola Gershfeld and I talk about how disconnection and conflict in the workplace often play out like a Pac-Man game.
We talked about:
? Why disconnection, not open conflict, is the real hidden cost in organisations
? How the pursuer-withdrawer cycle shows up in meetings, teams, and leadership
? Practical ways the EmC Reconnection Process helps de-escalate tension and rebuild trust
? How repaired relationships can actually become stronger than before
This conversation is a reminder that emotions aren’t a weakness in the workplace, they’re the key to repairing disconnection and building resilient teams.
