But, often, it is. It can be stressful, harm productivity, spoil working relationships, and lead to damaging behaviors.

As a manager or a leader, conflict management is a part of your job!
So you need the tools to deal with conflict at work. And this course will give you them.
More than that, you'll learn how and why conflict arises, and how to minimize it before it takes hold.
The sources of conflict
The effect of personalities on conflict
The ways people resist imposed ideas
The signs and stages of conflict escalation

Strategies for resolving conflict
Five ways to handle conflict
How to recover a broken (workplace) relationship
Ongoing Project: Your Conflict Log During the course, your project will be to keep and share aspects of your Conflict Log. You will create a record of your observations, successes, and struggles. Other students and your tutor will support you, endorse your successes, and help you with your questions.
Prior Experience The only prior experience you need is daily life. If you’ve been a hermit or in long-term peaceful coexistence with all your fellow human beings, you won’t need this course.
However, the people who may find this most valuable are those who experience conflict in the workplace, and especially those in supervisory or management roles.
Your Tutor Your tutor is Dr Mike Clayton. As a senior manager at the international consulting firm, Deloitte, Mike had to deal with conflict among staff, with clients, and even among clients. But more importantly, as a senior representative of his firm and a program leader, he needed to avoid escalation of conflict.
Now, as a trainer and facilitator, he has been applying what he learned and teaching it to others. This course represents 15 years of experience in what tools students find most helpful, and 25 years of experience in business, managing conflicts large and small.
We have you covered However, it's not all been plain sailing. Three times in 25 years, Mike has had to use his own 'Breakdown Routine' to the breakdown of a professional relationship. Three times it worked. And managers and leaders he has coached have used it with equal success.
So, you see, we have you covered. This course will give you the tools to:
Reduce and reverse its escalation
Handle full-blown conflict
and... recover from the effects of a conflict-induced relationship breakdown.
