<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Are conflicts crushing your team's productivity? This step-by-step guide for managers provides the tools to get employees get back on track and turn disagreements into positive results.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From mild disagreements to major personnel blowouts, conflict in the workplace is unavoidable. Drawing lightheartedly from stories of her own slipups and disagreements as well as examples from her twenty years of experience as a conflict resolution professional, author Susan Shearouse reveals how conflict is created, how to respond to it, and how to manage it more effectively so that your team can get back to doing what it does best: producing top results for your organization. Conflict 101 employs research, humor, and oh-so-relatable anecdotes to help readers more deeply understand what it takes to build trust, harness negative emotions, encourage apologies and forgiveness, use a solution-seeking approach, and say what needs to be said in the workplace to move past conflicts. Whether it's a fight over resources, a disagreement about how to get things done, or an argument stemming from perceived differences in identities or values, the manager's role is to navigate relationships, build compromises, and encourage better collaboration. In doing so, you'll not only become a stronger manager--you'll build a much stronger team.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Whenever human beings interact, it's inevitable that conflict--when what one person wants, needs, or expects interferes with what others want, need, or expect--will bubble up to the surface...and no more so than at the office. Whatever the cause, it's your job as a manager to ensure that these ripples of discord don't lead to a lack of productivity, increased employee turnover and absenteeism, and other natural consequences of workplace friction. "Conflict 101" gives you the tools you need to navigate relationships, build compromises and collaborations, and not only get your people back on track, but channel the energy of disagreements into positive results. You'll discover practical, immediately usable ways to: - build trust among coworkers - harness negative emotions - encourage apologies and forgiveness, and - use a solution-seeking approach to resolving employee differences - say what needs to be said in any situation involving interpersonal tension. Whether it's a disagreement about processes, factionalism over where money and staff will come from, or the byproduct of complicated relationships or differences stemming from iden-ti-ties or values, it's imperative that you stem the tide of conflict and keep your people focused.
