Objective
Participants gain a deeper understanding of their conflict patterns and acquire skills for responding constructively to interpersonal conflicts. Often people in organizations respond to conflict by trying to avoid it, or by reacting inappropriately because they don’t know how to manage the emotions or perceptions that are driving the conflict. Ineffective conflict management is time-consuming, costing organizations money and productivity. This class is about managing differences productively and efficiently while maintaining positive relationships.
