| Conflict is a reality of organizational life and work relationships. Conflict, if handled effectively, can help deepen and strengthen relationships and teams and can be a positive catalyst for creativity and change.
Conflict is a natural part of our work and personal lives, and being able to successfully manage and navigate conflict is an essential skill for leadership and workplace success. Effective organizational actors must be aware of the different conflict styles they and others use. Success means understanding when these styles are useful and when they are not.
Those who have a framework for understanding the nature of conflict, how they and others deal with conflict and being able to have appropriate and productive conversations to resolve conflict will be more productive and successful in work and life. The highly interactive Conflict Matters workshop uses a combination of small and large group work to teach participants how to keep relationships intact, engender a more positive workplace and understand and resolve conflict successful.
