Beyond Conflict for Teams

An approach for dealing with interpersonal issues and problems in a more effective, meaningful and sustainable way.

In your work place, do you see:

  • defensive behaviour
  • lack of cooperation
  • resistance to others or new ideas?

What would it mean for results, outcomes and personal stress levels if you could reduce these behaviours?

The causes of organizational conflict vary, but they generally stem from basic differences in the way individuals perceive their relationships and carry out their work. While conflict is generally never a welcome thing, it has been proven that without it growth, creativity, synergy and productive change cannot occur. The goal then is not to “do away” or ignore conflict but rather find useful, beneficial ways of dealing with it and turn frustrating relationships into more collaborative ones.

We believe that managing conflict is a skill set that can be taught and people can learn to effectively and confidently address the dynamics that arise when conflict occurs. This skill set enhances our ability to work well with others, achieve better outcomes and reach more productive agreements. The bottom line is learning how to better manage conflict significantly contributes to workplace environments that have greater focus, are more productive and are happier places to work.
