Training Topic: Conflict Management
Duration: Half day, full day, or two days
Audience: Customized training for managers and employees

Description: Conflict is a necessary and integral part of effective interpersonal operations. It is the essence of sound decision making because disagreement is the best vehicle for broadening perspectives, discovering alternatives and stimulating creative interaction among members. The effects of disagreement, however, depend on how it is managed by participants. Conflict can be disruptive or it can be constructive. When mismanaged, conflict can destroy a group's effectiveness; when handled well, it can greatly increase the quality of a group's work and make members feel proud of their work in the group. The key to dealing with conflict is to determine a way to resolve the situation before it escalates into a serious problem. This workshop provides different techniques for dealing with conflict in routine work situations.

Objectives:
• Sensitize participants to the reality of conflict and conflict situations
• Clarify the nature of conflict
• When conflict can be a positive force
• When conflict can be a destructive force
• Provide participants with usable skills to help minimize and resolve conflict situations
