Conflict is natural and, if embraced, has an untapped potential to ignite innovative change. When ignored or handled incorrectly, conflict can unleash a destructive force within your organization. Worry not! Wherever you are in the conflict cycle, it’s never too late to affect change.
This course utilizes the Everything DiSC Productive Conflict Profile® (produced by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.) to help participants improve their awareness about conflict behaviors. Rather than focus on a step-by-step process for conflict resolution, you will learn techniques to curb destructive behaviors and effectively respond to conflict situations. The course also features an exploration of the Everything DiSC Productive Conflict Profile® in the context of conflict, providing an opportunity for you to explore destructive conflict responses.
This course is part of the Leadership Certificate.
