Move From Conflict To Collaboration: How to Handle Disagreements, Difficult People, Tough Situations!

Description

A recent study on workplace conflict found that an overwhelming majority (85%) of employees, at all levels, have experienced dealing with stressful conflict. For example: being in a frustrating disagreement with a colleague; managing a conflict between co-workers; or getting team members to collaborate instead of working independently. Workplace conflict is inevitable — but costly. Unresolved conflicts lead to miscommunication, stalled projects, reduced productivity, and employee disengagement.

How much is 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.

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.
