Effective Leadership Workshop:top
Addressing the Challenges of Change and Conflict

Eckerd College Leadership Development Institute and Discovery Learning, Inc. are joining forces to provide managers with tools and feedback about two of the most contentious issues facing leaders: managing change and dealing with conflict, not only in the workplace but also in daily living.
 
Conflict will never disappear! Change is now a constant!  How individuals and teams manage and leverage their various perspectives translates to a well-respected and well-rounded team that drives the organization to success.
 
This workshop is designed for both individuals and intact or cross-functional teams.  Benefits of attending this session include:
  • Learning how to maximize the opportunities and minimize the harmful effects of conflict
  • Exploring the cost and benefits of conflict in your organization
  • Understanding the links between effective leadership and productive conflict management
  • Identifying your own change style preference
  • Knowing how individual change style preferences impact organizational readiness for change
  • Creating the capacity to leverage change style preferences to produce better outcomes
  • Understanding how to measure organizational readiness for change
 
Each participant will receive personalized feedback on the Conflict Dynamics Profile for Individuals (CDP-I) and the Change Style Indicator® (CSI). An opportunity for a free team assessment for change readiness will also be available after the workshop.
