Workplace Wisdom: How to Resolve Interpersonal Conflicts in the Workplace, with Liz Kislik

Conflict may be an inevitable part of life, but you don’t have to give up on new opportunities and growth when employees don’t get along — you can accelerate your company’s progress and achievement instead!

Every relationship – at work and in life – has some degree of conflict. The question is whether that conflict is productive, leading to greater understanding and progress, or becomes destructive. Management consultant and Harvard Business Review contributor Liz Kislik distills her 30 years of professional experience to share practical strategies to help you:

• Work in partnership with others who may have different priorities
• Know when and how to compromise
• Make sure the most important things don’t go unsaid
• Recover from conflict to form stronger relationships

Stop expecting that people will figure out how to work together on their own.

Tune in and hear Liz’s answers to questions such as:

• Communication that’s necessary during change.
• How conflict can occur during change and how to deal with it.
• The kind of planning that will make change easier.
• And much, much more!
