Positive Use & Resolution of Conflict

What is it?
Conflict, used well, can unleash a vast reserve of passion and creativity. Unfortunately, conflict has gotten a bad reputation because it is often misused. Misused conflict can sap the life from your business and destroy the fun of working there. The trick is in developing a workforce that is able to mine the gold from conflict without getting stuck in the mud.

Why do it?
Unless your entire workforce is already skilled in the positive uses of conflict, it is important to enlist highly skilled professional services to help create change in this area. This is not simply a matter of providing training on conflict management. Effective use of conflict requires both intellectual and emotional skills. It also requires a business culture that is very clear about the way it wants to utilize conflict.

All of us are trained from early childhood how to deal with conflict and power issues. Some of this training was great and some of it wasn't. In a stressful situation, we are most likely to revert to what we first learned. People can change and grow, but the process is often messy and even one poor intervention can make it messier. This change process will be loaded with land mines. The gold can make it well worth the effort.
