Conflict Resolution
Conflict resolution skills can be readily learned by most people, and the tools can be used effectively even when the other party has no specific conflict resolution skills.
Description
Workplace conflict can be defined as any situation where multiple parties have opposing needs and may range from everyday issues between people that have good relations to more serious situations involving significant interpersonal tension. Regardless of the conflict, a skilled communicator will seek to resolve it in a way that maximizes both the substantive outcome and the relationship.
Fortunately, conflict resolution skills can be readily learned by most people, and the tools can be used effectively even when the other party has no specific conflict resolution skills.
This program focuses intensively on skills practice, so that participants build a high level of confidence in the tools they learn before leaving the room.
