When leaders face conflict—whether in business partnerships or team dynamics—the real issue often isn’t strategy, but unmet human needs. In this article, I explore Tony Robbins’ Six Human Needs framework as a powerful tool for resolving disagreements and strengthening leadership. Through a real coaching session example, I show how two business partners clashed over pricing strategies, each unconsciously trying to fulfill different needs.
