When managed well, differing opinions and experiences are among the most valuable resources of any organization. They drive creative thinking and team development, and they help us make smarter decisions. But all too often, differences either get suppressed or become fuel for unproductive arguments. The skills in this training will help you transform conflicts not only within your team, but also with other departments, customers, suppliers, and anyone else with whom you fail to see eye to eye.
