Managing Change and Conflict in Your Organization

1. Managing Change and Conflict in Your Organization

If you consider all of the struggles though which your organization has managed, can you see any common threads? Most likely, conflict has driven a good number of them. Conflict can arise from any source – funding concerns, personnel issues, values collisions, organizational capacity (or the lack thereof,) personal perceptions of issues… Any number of places… But wouldn’t it be great if you could predict the likelihood of certain conflicts – and even mitigate them? This workshop will help participants explore the evolution of many common workplace conflicts, identify warning signs, develop some skills to manage those, and to lead staff to a stronger place after the conflict has passed.
