Conflict comes naturally when people hold different views, values and beliefs. Left alone, it leads to absenteeism, lower productivity, resentment and disengagement. Handled well, it can strengthen relationships and drive change. This 90-minute conflict resolution training shows leaders how to deal with it early.
You'll explore the 10 causes and 6 escalators of conflict, best practices for resolving it, and how to manage your own presence in a tense situation. You'll learn when and how to use five conflict resolution styles and how to respond in different settings.
The session also covers a 10-step method for turning conflict into productive discussion, and you'll build a personal action plan to use back at work.
