Next Executive Education Series Managing Conflict Inside the Organization Strategies for handling internal conflict and leading your group or organization through difficult changes Disagreements and conflict are a reality in every organization, particularly in times of uncertainty and change.
Conflict is a pervasive fact of life for any senior executive.
Your ability to manage contentious, disruptive or deep-seated disagreements inside the company can spell the difference between your own success and failure. Conventional approaches to resolving internal conflicts often don't work in today's more complex organizations. They do not offer you enough latitude to solve the kinds of disputes caused by mergers, crippling turf battles, the redistribution of authority, disagreements over roles and responsibilities, competition for scarce resources, or conflicting objectives imposed by matrix organizations. At the Project on Negotiations in the Workplace and the Consensus Building Institute, we have developed an innovative, facilitated, mutual-gains approach to help you deal more effectively with conflicts across cultural, regional, functional and departmental boundaries . Drawn from extensive research and practical hands-on experience and led by a distinguished senior faculty of recognized organizational conflict management experts, this program focuses on building the skills of managers who are trying to devise and broker agreements.
