Leading Through Conflict

Course Overview


Conflict can feel messy. Often, leaders disguise their fear of conflict with messages of "teamwork" and "keeping the peace." This communicates that in the workplace there is no room for healthy conflict.

Organizational psychology shows that with certain practices, conflict can lead to greater innovation and more rooted teams. So how do leaders develop teams to be able to engage in productive tension? And how do they leverage varied points of view to positively impact progress?

This workshop gives managers the language and tools to navigate various conflict styles and identify where healthy role-based conflict should exist on and between teams. After all, healthy organizations embrace productive conflict and embracing productive conflict, in turn, leads to healthy teams.
