Taking Control of Conflict
When most people think of their jobs, conflict probably (hopefully) isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Some have found themselves complaining about working with a colleague who is particularly stubborn or bossy or replaying an encounter with their supervisor that left him/her feeling frustrated. Most people have been involved in some form of conflict in the workplace, its extent ranging from mild disagreements to explosive standoffs.

- Define workplace conflict.
- Identify their preferred strategy for handling workplace conflict.
- Understand pros and cons of each strategy.
- Recognize the most common sources of workplace conflict.
- Understand the structure of conflict and what not to do.
- Address issues before they escalate.
