Presented by Buffy D’Amico
In the bestselling book “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, Dale Carnegie states the only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
I respectfully disagree.
The biggest variable to the success of a project is the people involved. Interpersonal conflicts are detrimental to your team’s morale and results. Unmanaged conflict leads to reduced levels of teamwork and cooperation, diminished team commitment and lower levels of quality and productivity. Dealing effectively with disagreements is a useful way to bring important issues to light, open the lines of communication and strengthen relationships. This session will give you the talking tools to deal with conflict as it happens and be more likely to come to a consensus about the resolution.
