Making Conflict Work:
Work conflict is risky. It can poison employee health, work relationships and organizational climates, or it can help energize problem solving, innovation and bottom-line effectiveness. Managing conflict up and down the chain of command at work can be particularly treacherous, as power differences complicate conflict situations and constrain options for responding. Making Conflict Work explains why these pitfalls are so common and what to do to avoid them, instead taking full advantage of the energy and potential for change that such situations create. Making Conflict Work offers seven new strategies and dozens of tactics for increasing your Conflict Intelligence and finding greater success and satisfaction at work.
Similarly, personal conflicts happen every day. They can be simple and serve to strengthen relationships, or they can spiral into seemingly unending conflicts that consume vast amounts of emotional energy. Appropriate action in conflict is often clouded by heightened emotional states, making decisions difficult. This is particularly true for college-age students or others in critical transitional periods in their life. Using a simple sequence of questions, Making Conflict Work offers insights to aid in deciding the best path forward in any conflict. How important is this conflict? Do you want to continue your relationship with this person? And what is the power dynamic of the conflict? Answering these questions can help you take appropriate actions in your personal conflicts and improve your relationships.
The Making Conflict Work app takes the teachings of the book mobile and allows you to access informed decision making at the swipe of a finger.
