Learning and Development, a division of Talent Management and Organization Development, has immediate openings for workshops taking place in December. Here's a brief description of December workshops in date order.
Becoming a Conflict Competent Leader Dealing effectively with conflict is difficult for leaders and followers alike. Poorly managed conflict creates enormous costs in the form of wasted time, turnover, and lawsuits. This course examines the sources of conflict in organizations, and probes the special nature of traditional adversarial roles, hierarchy, and special interests within an organization. Through case studies, role-plays, and examples shared in class, participants investigate effective methods for reaching satisfactory agreements. The Conflict Dynamics Profile is administered to provide the individual with greater self-knowledge of personal style. Tuesday, Dec. 2 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 1101 E. 33rd Street, B102 To register, click here.
