Conflict Management

Duration : 2 days 

Effective Conflict Management Practice that Prevents, Manages and Resolves Conflict for Great Results

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

 

Business owners, directors, managers, supervisors, sales consultants, customer service staff and top talent in the organization that want to elevate their conflict management competency so that they can get the very best results from their leadership, teams and colleagues in pursuit of the organization’s goals.

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

 

Effective conflict management helps you to prevent, manage and resolve situations where opinions differ. Instinctively we react to conflict in ways which are based upon old habits which often result in escalating a vicious cycle of conflict. Interpersonal, inter-group and structural conflict all point to the need for more effective tools for lasting problem solving through negotiation. Mastery of the principles, processes, and techniques of conflict management will help you build the trust and confidence that is vital for effective leader and leadership and driving business growth.

 

Conflict Management is a proven approach to conflict that covers the fundamentals of conflict prevention, management and resolution with particular emphasis given to fully understanding conflict and negotiations as part of the resolution process as it is in these areas that our experience tells us that most conflict management practice fails. The program takes a holistic view of conflict management and introduces the delegate to the knowledge, skills and attitude required to confidently approach conflict with prevention in mind and the ability to resolve conflict and reach a fair compromise with any audience and in any situation.

 

The program is well researched, knowledge-based and designed with the individual learner at the centre of the learning process which means that the course is extremely interactive and practical.
