Are you one of those manager’s who spends between 25-65% of their time managing conflict?
One of those people who has had to go on stress leave due to conflict with a colleague?
Or just in a stressful relationship?
As much as conflict, next to fear of heights, may be one of those things we dread (if not avoid!) the most in our life, it is not going away any time soon. It’s everywhere, and it’s getting in the way of your success, happiness, your business bottom line, or organization’s productivity. It doesn’t have to.
The kicker is, it does not conflict that is the problem. Conflict is a natural phenomenon, like earthquakes or the sunrise. Your problem with conflict is, more often than not, the way you manage it, frame it, use it.
Making conflict your friend seems counterintuitive: but take yourself through the tools, concepts, and approaches to conflict in this course, and you will see the many ways to use conflict differently and in a healthier way than you have till now.
“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
