Today's workplaces bring together people of different ages, genders, cultures and personalities, and some of those differences can turn toxic. This managing difficult people and dealing with conflict webinar helps you recognize and respond to many types of people.
You'll explore personality types, thinking styles and ways of interacting, and see how a few simple strategies make difficult people easier to deal with. The session covers the many reasons misunderstandings arise, how they escalate into misbehavior, and the causes and cures of workplace conflict.
You'll also learn to choose the right type of conflict resolution and intervention, and when to refer a dispute to professionals through alternative dispute resolution (ADR): arbitration, mediation and conciliation.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
From mild misunderstandings to serious conflict, difficult interactions drain time and morale. This session gives you strategies for finding workable solutions, whether people work side by side or far apart, and introduces formal dispute resolution options.
It suits HR and talent development professionals, managers, supervisors, leaders, executives and business owners.
