Conflict can be at the heart of teams' best ideas as well as their worst failures. This webinar, presented by Tim Flanagan and Craig Runde, looks at how teams can use conflict to enhance creativity, productivity and the quality of their decision-making. While teams inevitably encounter conflict, too many of them fail to develop norms for how they want to address it when it arises. This session examines how to create the right climate and use constructive communication techniques to manage team conflict effectively.

By attending this session you will
  • Discover why conflict is both a challenge and an opportunity for teams
  • Learn how to create the right climate for effective conflict management in teams
  • Develop approaches for using constructive communication approaches to address team conflict
  • Assess your team's current conflict environment
