Overview of the webinar
How much is unresolved conflict costing your organization? There are a variety of direct costs associated with poorly managed conflict, including, in the worst cases, the loss of your valued customers and your top talent. Another cost is the time spent by managers who are constantly dealing with disagreements, handling difficult people, or smoothing ruffled feathers. Their time would be better spent on accomplishing their work and team goals.
A recent study on workplace conflict found that that an overwhelming majority (85%) of employees, at all levels, have experienced dealing with conflict in some way (being involved in a disagreement, managing a conflict between co-workers, teams or customers.) It is also a major drain on the resources of HR departments: more than half of the HR professionals questioned said they spend up to five hours a week managing disagreements.
The crucial issue is not whether conflict, disagreement and difficult people can be avoided; the real concern is how they can be dealt with that will lead to positive outcomes… a better understanding of others, improved solutions to problems, and increased team performance.
This webinar will equip your managers, supervisors, and team leaders with the powerful tools to avoid common mistakes made by those who are well-intended but ineffective; to communicate in a way that lessens the heat of the moment; and to resolve, and even prevent conflict, more quickly and easily.

Why should you attend?
Conflict is an inevitable part of life. No matter how hard you try, it can seem that there will always be something that causes you or someone around you to be frustrated, angry, and impatient – or a whole host of other not-so-pleasant emotions.
Conflict arises when the people we work with have different ideas, perspectives, priorities, backgrounds, values, goals, or expectations. Yes, conflict can be destructive! It diverts energy from more important activities and issues; it polarizes people and reduces cooperation; and it can produce irresponsible behavior. And conflict can be constructive! It opens up and improves communication; it strengthens working relationships and teamwork; and it leads to better quality decisions and problem solutions.
The ability to handle difficult situations is a necessary people management and leadership skill. When you are confident of your conflict resolution abilities, you don’t have to be afraid of disagreement. You don’t have to back away from problems. Instead, you can face confrontation, and bring the issue out into the open. Well-managed conflict actually stimulates ideas, sparks creativity and encourages personal improvement. Conflict by itself is nei¬ther good nor bad. It’s the way YOU handle conflict that produces constructive or destructive results.
