Disagreements are a natural part of working life. Learn how to recognize the types of conflict, choose the right response for the situation, stay calm when tensions rise, listen for the needs behind positions and hold a resolution conversation in four steps.
Course objective: To manage disagreements with coworkers in a way that protects relationships and moves the work forward.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Distinguish task conflict from relationship conflict and explain when each of the five conflict responses works.
- Pause in moments of tension and speak using “I” statements.
- Build a four-step resolution conversation by listening for the needs behind positions.
The course consists of 5 animated chapters, 5 interactive exercises and an 8-question assessment. Exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce what you have learned through real work situations.
