In his book, Making Conflict Work, Dr. Peter Coleman suggest that work conflict is risky. It can go bad and poison employee health, work relationships and organizational climates, or it can go well and help to energize problem solving, innovation and bottom-line effectiveness. Managing conflicts up and down the chain of command at work can be particularly treacherous, as power differences complicate conflicts and constrain response options.
Organizations are rife with stories of executives and managers who abuse their power, of employees who overstep their authority, and of the resulting conflicts that can get stuck in downward spirals. In Making Conflict Work, Dr. Peter Coleman explains why these pitfalls are so common and what to do to avoid them and to take full advantage of the energy and potential for change that accompanies them. It offers seven new strategies and dozens of tactics for increasing your Conflict Intelligence and finding greater success and satisfaction at work.
