## Resource

Director Files 🎙 Alright… this month’s Director File had me laughing out loud when I read it. Not because it’s funny, but because I know so many directors dealing with this right now. A director wrote in about something she’s calling educator cancel culture. An educator walked into the office and said: “I refuse to work with her.” When the director suggested they talk through the issue, the response was: “Well maybe I should just resign then.” Over a conversation about pack-up. This one opens up a really interesting leadership discussion about: • conflict in teams • resignation threats • the difference between discomfort and psychological safety • and the role of a director when two adults don’t want to work together I unpack the whole situation in today’s Director Files episode.
