Learn to manage workplace conflict in your role as team leader or manager.
Conflict occurs when people disagree about something and believe that only one person or party's interests can be met.
In the workplace, this can happen regularly as people working in teams need to complete tasks together. This workshop will discuss practical strategies for managing conflict in different situations and provide you with skills to implement them.
We will also provide useful negotiation approaches that can help people in conflict to reach an outcome that is agreeable to everyone.

- an understanding of conflict and how to identify it
