Course description
Managing Conflict
No two people feel, think, or behave identically. When there are differences among us, some degree of conflict is inevitable. Research shows that a majority of the problems that arise among employees in an organization result from ineffective communication—after all, many of us spend large portions of our workday in face-to-face interactions.
This course will help participants develop crucial communication and conflict management skills to reduce misunderstandings and conflict at work. Whether participants are early in their career or seasoned leaders, they will be given tools to deal with, and resolve, formal and informal conflicts. Furthermore, participants will learn strategies to improve self- and team management abilities, including conflict management. Importantly, participants will realize that conflict need not be negative. Instead, it can be harnessed to strengthen innovation, productivity, and even team cohesiveness in organizations.
