Thriving on Conflict

Have you tried conflict management and conflict resolution techniques? We may wish there were a to make conflict go away, but the real issue how to work constructively with others when there is a conflict.

Thriving on Conflict, Dynamic, 2-Day Workshop

Conflict is part of working together.
Tension and conflict are neither good nor bad, they are part of living. For a team to get work done, there must be human interaction. Interaction often leads to conflict. This is especially true when the work is challenging and the risks are great. Our workshop will acknowledge the reality of conflict, appreciate its constructive power, and offer tools for controlling its destructive effects.

12 ways to handle conflict.
We use a tool from Human Synergistics, The Life Styles Indicator – Conflict This identifies 12 styles for handling conflict, four of which are constructive. The other 8 are defensive, keeping you where you are without taking you anywhere.

Effective work environment.
In today’s high-paced, multi-tasked business environment, every point of view must be addressed. The penalty for hiding or attacking unwanted information is long term failure. The project team must be willing to review and consider every stake holder’s point of view.

Taught by experience instructors who specialize in project team training.
This is not about psychology or counseling. It is not about fixing people. It is about getting work done. The instructors never lose focus on what you will do with it when you go back to work the next day. This highly interactive workshop goes beyond theory and gets into practice. There are no group hugs, just practical application of sound principles.

We acknowledge that bright people who want to achieve success will differ on how to get there. Once you appreciate opposing points of views, you can get conflict to work for you instead of against you. The overall goal is project success. Learn to thrive in a conflict situation by recognizing what is going on under the surface and dealing with that.
