Course Description
No matter how sound or well-intentioned your ideas, there will always be people inside — and outside — your organization who are going to oppose you or others!
Getting things done often means that you’re going to go head to head with people who have competing agendas. Sometimes people fight over personalities, but often they have a reason for being in conflict:
- People’s interests may truly be opposed
- Roles and levels of authority may not be correctly defined or delineated
- There may be real incentives to compete rather than to collaborate
- There may be little to no accountability or transparency about what people do or say
It helps to understand what others’ objectives and measures are, which requires looking at the world through their eyes. Don’t presume evil or malevolent intent.
Focusing too much on either hypothetical or irrelevant causes of conflict may be easy and fun in the short term, but it creates the risk over the long term that the underlying causes of conflict will never be addressed or fixed.
So, what’s the right approach to resolving conflicts at work and handling the clashing coworkers?

Why you should attend
Employee Conflict Costs Organizations Money, Morale and Productivity!
Workplaces are communities, built around the relationships we have with our peers.
- When these relationships are strong, they can be a source of energy, learning, and support. But when they fracture, even just temporarily, they become sources of frustration that harm both people and organizations.
- A rise in absenteeism and turnover is a likely sign that an organization is suffering from unresolved conflict.
That’s why managers and employees need to be able to manage and rebound from these conflicts.
In this webinar , you will learn:
- How to handle conflicts caused by the tasks of the job and relationships with coworkers
- How to evaluate the seriousness of the conflict and how to appropriately intervene
- The role of emotional intelligence, confronting employees in conflict
- How to deal with common issues of conflict at all levels of the organization.
