Session: The Swiss Army Knife of Conflict Resolution– The Skills To Make A Difference
Individuals or teams that are embroiled in chronic conflicts are exhausting and work suffers. However, lack of conflict can be just as harmful. Conflict is a normal result of personality differences and everyday differences of opinion. If teams approach conflicts as opportunities, the conflict serves it purpose. Participants in this session received useful, practical information that can be applied immediately on the job, including tools to resolve problems with their team, customers, and leaders. They were given an easy-to-follow process for solutions with buy-in from everyone and the skills to make a difference!
