From Conflict to
Collaboration: How to Deal with the Strife in Your Life
Beverly Smallwood,
Ph.D.
Who Should Attend:
Leaders and Team Members
Time: 1 ½ to 3 hours
Destructive
conflicts, whether expressed in negative undercurrents,
stab-in-the-back interpersonal behaviors, or explosions, exact a
high cost on morale, service, and quality. On the other hand,
constructive conflict is actually desirable in that it allows
for the expression of diverse opinions and approaches,
challenges team members to think, and promotes the consideration
of new ideas. Handled correctly, conflict can be a catalyst for
creative problem-solving and growth.
In this workshop,
participants will:
- Learn how to resolve
conflicts early, before they become disastrous to morale and
productivity;
- Discover how to
prevent egos fro standing in the way of solutions;
- Learn how to
dissolve workplace power struggles;
- Find out the secrets
of the kind of listening that disarms anger;
- Learn how to deal
with various types of difficult people without becoming one
yourself;
- Explore creative
ways to help each person come out feeling like a winner,
developing lasting solutions to workplace conflicts.
