If efficiency starts diluting productivity rather than increasing it something is woefully amiss. So much so, that I have really come to cringe every time I hear the word efficiency.

The most productive leaders I know have the ability to be extremely nice, very civil and always polite while maintaining the ability to be direct, focused, and candid.

Leadership is a full-contact sport, and if you cannot address conflict in a healthy, productive fashion then you should not be in a leadership role. Unresolved conflict often results in a loss of productivity, stifles creativity, and creates barriers to cooperation. If so, you likely have issues with conflict.
