For most people a conflict is something to avoid at all costs. Therefore, they tend to distance themselves from situations where they ought to be taking control, instead of backing away from important issues.

The fact is that conflict is a normal part of life, and the ability to resolve conflicts effectively is a crucial skill for everyone to possess.

In this course we will learn and implement ways to use assertiveness and adaptability skills to manage and resolve conflicts in general and at the workplace. By doing so, you will improve your teams’ performance and develop a work environment conducive to goal attainment.

Identify causes and effects of conflicts
Provide various conflict-resolution strategies for various types of conflicts
Outline and manage a conflict resolution model
Design an action plan to resolve conflicts
