Let's face it, people don't leave companies; they leave bad management and toxic environments. These two scenarios can decrease productivity, diminish morale, and increase counterproductive work behaviors. Managing conflict is a skill that must be used regularly to effectively contribute to an organization's well-being. This class will provide you with a framework for thinking about conflict within organizations and tools to successfully manage this conflict.

In this micro-class we will cover:
  1. Types of Conflict within Organizations
  2. Patters of Conflict within Organizations
  3. Individual Differences in Responding to Conflict
  4. Tactics for Managing Conflict Effectively

Whether it is negotiating your next raise at your current company or during the salary offer at a new organization, knowing your value, scope of expectation and understanding the market are all key factors we grapple with when adding a fiduciary value to our skill.

In this micro-class we will cover:
  1. Determining if and when negotiation is appropriate.
  2. Preparing for negotiation.
  3. Negotiation styles and strategies.
