In-House Conflict Workshop
How would your organization be different if everyone knew how to manage themselves and others through conflict?
We know that conflict is a natural dynamic that happens whenever people are interacting with one another on a regular basis. Yet most of us never learn how to effectively and assertively address conflict. In fact, most of us try to avoid it at all costs. As a result, organizations pay dearly for unresolved workplace conflict.
The American Management Association concluded in their study of management behaviour that managers spend 24% of their day dealing with conflict.
To achieve their goals in today’s competitive marketplace, successful organizations have opted to make conflict management an organization-wide key competency. Best practice research indicates the benefits of addressing conflict consistently outweigh the consequences of avoiding it. When people are given the opportunity to learn proactive and reactive strategies coupled with tools and skills, they begin to experience the power of conflict.
Imagine the difference it could make in your organization!
