I wrote Navigating Conflict directly to readers, whether they're accomplished and want to polish their skills or someone who freezes in the face of conflict. Before writing, I set aside two days and thought about everything I needed, bought when I started out many years ago, fearful with conflict, and now when I handle large-scale mediations and tough assignments on behalf of client, or challenging situations in my own professional/personal life. I included tools for dealing with toxic individuals, personality conflicts, office policies and problematic personal and workplace situations, along with strategies for effectively handling yourself under fire and when a conflict discussion goes off the rails. If you have the chance to read it, I'd love to know what you think.
As a former teacher of psychology, small business owner, and employer, I can enthusiastically say that Dr Curry’s lenses on handling conflict offer the clear vision one needs in myriad human interactions, both on the job and off. Seasoned and wise, her prescriptions are relevant and peace-bringing, even in highly contentious environments. I spent time with this excellent book as an advance reader—but I’ll be buying it as a paying customer—& giving it as a gift, both to friends in management as well as those finishing MBAs.
Another great resource from Lynne for dealing with all sort of conflict. Whether you are having issues at work or in you personal life, this book has the solution in an easy to follow format. Like all of Lynne's books this one is very well written and covers the subject of conflict resolution throughly. I highly recommend it.
It's apparent from page one that 40 years of experience is talking. I've seen and been involved in so many of these conversations during my career, and I wish I had this book 30 years ago when I was first starting out. That said, I see examples that are relevant right now and as I am still learning at 55, this has been a great resource.
Lynne Curry brings her many years of business experience to bear with this essential guide to a really important subject. Conflict in the workplace is an ongoing and constant problem, and Lynne's book is a set of real solutions. Enlighten yourself with this pointed and useful account.
