Managing Conflict Professionally
Conflict is found, to one degree or another, wherever people work together. When recognized and handled effectively, it can lead to more productive teams and better working relationships among colleagues. Additionally, some conflicts can be avoided, particularly those that are the result of miscommunication due to poor listening or other misunderstandings. Through discussion, exercises, and other activities, this workshop will offer participants opportunities to identify their conflict management style, discover tools which foster better communication, and outline steps to handle conflicts more effectively.
