Course Overview

Have you ever found yourself dreading having to work with a colleague who is particularly stubborn or bossy? Or perhaps replaying an encounter with your supervisor that left you feeling frustrated? Most people have been involved in some form of conflict in the workplace, ranging from mild disagreements to explosive standoffs. Conflict can be an obstacle to organizational success and personal job satisfaction. When two or more people work together, conflict is almost inevitable. Although you may not eliminate conflict entirely, you can take control of it.  

In this course, you will learn how to successfully handle conflict and prevent unnecessary conflict from occurring in the first place through the implementation of effective resolution strategies. By the end of this course, you will be able to create a positive working environment in which conflict is dealt with collaboratively.

Completing this course will help you:

  • Identify your preferred strategy for handling conflict
  • Recognize the characteristics and drawbacks of each typical approach to conflict
  • Identify various sources of conflict and implement strategies for effectively resolving conflicts
  • Apply strategies that address issues before they escalate into problems
