I want you to know that if you’re a leader who avoids conflict, you’re not alone. There are a few reasons why leaders don’t deal with conflict, and the biggest reason is fear.
The #1 reason is FEAR!
- FEAR of making things worse…
- FEAR of rejection or losing respect…
- FEAR of hurting people’s feelings and upsetting them…
- FEAR of retaliation… (sick leaves, resignations, spreading negativity)
… and so many other fears.
If you can start looking at where those fears are coming from, you will gain the confidence to effectively deal with conflicts before they gain momentum. This is especially true if you have the right tools.
The topics for learning and tools for succeeding in our Relationships and Conflict Management Program have been selected and proven based on years of experience where managers and supervisors needed support. Not only will you learn exactly how to resolve conflict at work, but you’ll also learn resolution at a core level, and that will help in all your relationships.
There is always time to learn about resolving issues that are so costly with time, money, and productivity, so I’ve recorded a short webinar for you titled:
3 SECRETS TO HANDLING WORK CONFLICTS without breaking a sweat, even if you don’t have time or energy!
Remember, the high cost of conflict is avoidable, and profits can be used for better things.
Wishing you great courage to embrace conflict,
Penny
