Successful management depends on the ability to quickly and effectively manage conflicts. Conflict Resolution includes hands-on information for effectively communicating with employees, disciplining and even terminating employees, understanding and using organizational politics, and more.
Read this for my Conflict Resolution in the Workplace course. It was definitely one of my favorite college classes, which is due more to the instructor than this book. But to the book’s credit, it is:
•short (less than 200 pages) •practical •super important (and not just for the workplace)
Other than being a smidge outdated and a little bit self-important (like “Wow, NO ONE has ever thought of mediating workplace conflict before!!!”), it’s packed with helpful methods for constructively dealing with one-on-one and team conflicts. Recommend!
