High conflict situations are increasing in the workplace and can wreak havoc with a team's productivity, contribute to workplace dissatisfaction, increase legal and financial risk, and cause good employees to leave. These situations tend to involve one or more people with a high conflict personality pattern marked by preoccupation with blaming others, all-or-nothing thinking, unmanaged emotions and extreme negative behavior. Such people may be valued employees, volunteers, managers or senior leaders.
This training will provide an understanding of high conflict personalities, plus teach attendees what TO do, and what NOT to do when dealing with high conflict people and situations, helping to reduce or navigate these conflicts more efficiently and effectively. The CARS Method® will be explained and practiced for coaching co-workers to manage high conflict situations. Our New Ways for Work™ Coaching method and the 4 Big Skills™ will also be demonstrated and practiced. This method is designed to help people with high conflict patterns to improve their own behavior, either to reduce high conflict behavior or to strengthen their conflict resolution skills in day-to-day dealings at work. These techniques can be particularly helpful for employees at any level who want to grow in their careers and need help navigating high conflict situations. These methods are also helpful for coaching high conflict employees who are seen as assets that an organization wishes to support to develop in order to continue their employment.
