Conflict Resolution

managers,supervisors,program managers project or group leaders,human resource professionals,internal consultants or facilitators,and all members of team oriented businesses.

We have all experienced the stress that comes from having unresolved conflicts with our co-workers. Conflicts that are ignored or resolved badly don´t go away--they cause people to feel resentful and to avoid each other. The effects on the company are a loss of productivity, absenteeism and turnover.

The Conflict Resolution Workshop goes directly to the heart of this problem. In it, mid-level managers and first-line supervisors learn Dr. Thomas Gordon´s model for resolving conflicts.
