Let’s face it - we all know that differences of opinion are inevitable and essential to innovation, creativity, and problem solving. Unfortunately, they can also lead to a lot of interpersonal friction which can escalate into workplace wars. As much as we like to think of ourselves as being in control of our workplace situations, there are times when you just cannot ignore them, walk away, or turn the other cheek. We all have seen the early warning signs that a confrontation with another person, department, or division is inevitable and at some point, we will have to step up and challenge them or stay back and allow them to prevail.
This course will help you identify and understand the factors that can lead to a workplace war and help you devise a strategy that can help you achieve a satisfactory outcome short of going to war or, at least, not experience a result that is excessively unsatisfactory.
Although most people will do everything they can to avoid storm and negative situations, there are times when it is beneficial to confront issues that bother us IN A CONTROLLED MANNER and get opposing viewpoints out into the open so we can deal with them and move forward.
