CONFLICT MANAGEMENT

This course teaches people how to manage conflict for positive change.

Conflict in work situations can arise from a variety of reasons including differing opinions, approaches to situations or from emotional disturbance. Whilst conflict is a natural occurrence, it is our response which must be managed to ensure a positive outcome. When approached properly, conflict can foster creativity and more innovative solutions.  For leaders it is important to deal with conflict proactively and not let it become out of hand and undermine both morale and performance. This course teaches how conflict management strategies such as applying emotional intelligence, using negotiation skills and being assertive can help to resolve or at least manage conflict constructively.
