Professional Development: Supervisor as Conflict Resolution Coach
This workshop will apply mediation-based strategies to workplace conflict. We discuss the times when it most appropriate for a supervisor to "mediate" an issue v. "arbitrate" it, as well as when co-workers in conflict should be separated v. encouraged to work out their challenges. Participants will consider techniques to create a work culture wherein failures of the team are group problems to be solved, rather than a battle to make sure the blame doesn't stick on you. There is a fee for this workshop. For more information: http://bit.ly/WY7YLO
