Building Productive Relationships and Conflict Management

Tighter deadlines. Higher goals. Changing workforce. Frequently changing company mandates. All these add up to stress, and stress that impacts one individual has implications that affect all the members of a team and how they react to one another.

The SDI is a time-proven assessment that helps both the individual and team discover unique motivations for behavior under changing circumstances. The basic premise is that we tend to behave one way when things are going well and another when we are in conflict or under stress. When stress continues and we lack the tools to manage it, negative interactions and unproductive behavior result.

Participants will gain:

• A better understanding of personal motivations for behavior.
• Working knowledge of how to interact with others to foster productive relationships.
• Methods for managing conflic, including that originating from differences in our personal styles.
• A common language for understanding motivations and identifying the three stages of conflict; win-win, win-lose, and lose-lose.

Relationships can provide some of life’s most rewarding and enriching experiences. They can also generate misunderstandings and frustration. This course helps participants discover personal motivations and strengths as well as provides better understandings of the motivations and strengths of others. The tools will be provided to enable participants to make choices toward building more productive relationships.

This is the foundation workshop on which the Authentic Leadership program is built. This program is powerful, interactive, and easily integrated as it uses real-world and practical examples to understand the assessment and the process of respectful confrontation.
