Aim of Workshop Conflict is usual in work-based relationships and it’s a skill that all managers need to master because t’s fundamental for
delivering large projects and taking people with you. The less you deal with it, the more it arises. Your challenge is to
harness it to solve problems, deliver new ideas and find better ways of collaborating.

• map out your current and future approach and strategy for handling conflict
• understand, use and embed a conflict-handling framework

• role-play handling your specific conflict situation
• give and receive peer feedback on conflict
