Conflict Management
Goals
The goal of this Conflict Management workshop with Bonfire Training is to equip team members to productively engage in conflict resolution conversations in the workplace to avoid the same conflict resurfacing and to reduce stress:
- Reduce the potential for conflict
- Understand the influences to conflict resolution
- Handle conversations to manage conflict and move forward
In this Conflict Management workshop, you will discover how to get to the real cause of the problem, how to disarm disagreeable people, how to defuse tense situations, and how to handle anger (your own and others’). You will also learn “what to say when” scripts for specific conflict situations that arise at work, so you will NEVER be at a loss for the right words again.
We will examine conflict by covering:
- Basic causes of conflict
- Proven strategies for minimizing causes of conflict so you can prevent disagreements from occurring in the first place
- How fear of conflict can hold you back personally and professionally
- Why avoidance, power plays, pouting, and manipulation never resolve conflict
- The positive side of conflict
CONFLICT MANAGEMENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
Participants will leave the workshop with solid techniques that can be used immediately to facilitate conversations, with tactics to prevent the same conflict from resurfacing.
Who should attend?
This workshop is ideal for managers of people and any team members who want to keep conflict in the workplace from derailing projects, reducing productivity and negatively impacting morale.
