Conflicts, especially in the form of verbal disagreements are an inevitable occurrence in the workplace and it is managers who are often required to resolve these.
For many managers however, this is not an easy task – it requires self-awareness, solid communication skills and the motivation to resolve uncomfortable situations. All too often, poor resolution strategies are employed resulting in escalation of the disagreement, conflict and aggression or avoidance of the disagreement and the creation of an environment of false harmony, where the disagreement exist, but is not discussed or resolved.
This training workshop will provide managers with insight into the causes of conflict and possible resolution strategies that can be employed in the workplace. It will also increase their awareness of their own emotional triggers and provide the tools (including active and empathic listening, asking questions and evaluating the personalities involved) needed to productively manage and resolve conflict.
