In today’s complex organizations, the ability to collaborate effectively with others is crucial to every employee’s and manager’s success. Two of the most important competencies are the ability to understand each other’s needs and to resolve conflict — in one’s own relationships and among one’s staff. Fortunately, with the right tools and training, colleagues can work together to identify and achieve the most mutually beneficial outcomes — which naturally lead to high performance!

In this power-packed half-day session, you will:

• Gain an increased understanding of the issues underlying your most challenging work relationships
• Review a case study that highlights workplace challenges, and strategies to resolve them
• Learn a process to improve work relationships by better meeting your own and others’ needs (including direct reports, peers, and managers)
• Develop a customized action plan to achieve breakthroughs in your relationships back on the job
