Positive Working Relationships

Course Aims
The day focuses upon improving our working relationships by increasing our understanding of ourselves and others. We explore how our different motivational value systems affect our day-to-day behaviour and discuss the value such differences in individual strengths and motivations can bring to a team. Time will also be spent understanding and dealing with conflict in order to maintain positive working relationships.
Who Should Attend?
Everyone who wants to focus upon building positive working relationships with others in the organisation. This can be applied to managers dealing with subordinates, or vice versa, as well as colleagues working together with their peers.
