Conflicts are a normal and common occurrence whenever people live or work together. Conflicts often are based on misunderstandings, assumptions and unspoken expectations that lead to unpleasant situations for the parties involved and may touch upon innocent bystanders. Unsolved conflicts might lead to encrusted (working-) atmospheres that hinder the productivity of whole teams, departments and work groups. Dealing with conflicts is therefore one of the most important management and leadership skills.

In the workshop Preparing for Conflict, you will reflect upon how conflicts evolve and how they might escalate. You will learn to analyse situations that have a potential for conflict, understand the different options you possess to prevent, deescalate, handle and solve different forms of conflict.

Topics

  • Define conflicts in a neutral manner
  • Understand conflict cause/effect
  • Conflicts in different forms - personal, interpersonal, structural
