Conflict Management
Is conflict a bad thing? Not necessarily. In order to strive for meaningful success the interests, needs, goals or values of involved parties can often be at odds. However, if handled in the right way a conflict often presents opportunities for real improvement.
Often, a conflict is a result of perception. This conflict management course will help delegates to handle and learn from conflict. By understanding the skills, communication channels and actions that are required to successfully manage a conflict, delegates will learn to take control and overcome workplace challenges.
This course has an emphasis on practical strategies and can be adapted for staff who face conflict externally (customer facing) and internally (within organisation). Throughout the session delegates will observe, develop and practice key skills to build confidence and defuse challenging situations.
Benefits for the delegate:
-
Develop an understanding of what conflict is and how to communicate appropriately in challenging situations
