Course Description
A survey—of 2,000 U.S. workers—indicated that their top source of tension on the job was relationships!
Trapped in these negative dynamics, we find it hard to be our best selves or to improve the situation. Instead, we spend time worrying, react in regrettable ways that violate our values, avoid difficult colleagues, and sometimes even withdraw from work entirely.
Such responses can lead to many bad outcomes, including reduced creativity, slower and worse decision-making, and even fatal mistakes.
When minds come together, there’s no limit! But how do you ensure you work together to harness collective idea power? – Here’s how…
- Discover the Four Angry “I”s and the Stress Doc’s “Four Faces of Anger” Model for transforming anger, rage, and conflict into productive dialogue and conflict resolution.
- Skills and strategies for Disarming power struggles by asking trust-building, “good questions,”
- Tactics for providing and receiving all kinds of feedback, even how to deal constructively with a critical aggressor.
- Understand the difference between “acknowledgment” and “agreement”
- How to lyrically disarm or emotionally detach from “Yes, butters” and self-centered types.
