How to recognize the deeper causes of interpersonal conflict.
This course will show you how to recognize the deeper causes of interpersonal conflict. It emphasizes skills to help you critically evaluate explosive situations and choose the appropriate strategies and tools to manage and/or resolve these conflicts. You will develop greater awareness of what pushes your buttons and how to control your reactions. You will also be able to assist your direct reports in looking at their own triggers for upset and coach them in behaving in more productive ways. Many conflicts are situational and focus on business problems. Fortunately, by gaining agreements around a specific issue the tension is easily resolved. However, many times conflicts are based on personality disconnects and these are usually more intense and impactful over longer periods of time. When you and your team have awareness about both types of conflicts you can evaluate the situation more quickly and make a judgment call on which tools will get the conflict resolved faster and smarter. If you can ask the right questions to find out the underlying cause of interpersonal disputes you have a much better chance of finding a long term solution.

yes thank you
Very practical course in helping to identify patterns and behaviours which result in conflicts at the office. Course materials/exercises are excellent tools to help in the assessment process and to develop valuable conflict resolution skillsets. I thoroughly enjoyed this short program.
I really enjoyed the presenters matter of fact and kind-of-funny delivery. It was refreshing to get a perspective that was honest and not sugar-coated or highly PC.
The content was good.
