Research indicates that managing conflict is one of the most common development needs of leaders and managers. This finding isn’t surprising given how pervasive conflict is and how detrimental unresolved conflict can be for individuals, teams and organizations.
Designed for leaders at all levels, Mastering Conflict Dynamics (MCD) gives participants an increased awareness of the root causes of conflict and helps them acquire new skills for effectively assessing and resolving conflict. Through a variety of teaching techniques including lectures, simulations, group exercises and personal feedback, the program helps participants learn to address conflict with comfort and confidence.

During this program, participants will:
- Understand the value of conflict
- Receive feedback regarding behaviors during times of conflict
