Handling Tough Interactions When it Matters Most
Creating value and making a difference in a fast, high-change environment often involves addressing contrasting opinion and performance differences in a skilled, constructive, and sometimes courageous manner. Research indicates that almost 85% of all leaders derail due to an inability to recognize or successfully address conflict in a timely, well-practiced manner. Conversely, high performing leaders who consistently deliver superior results, do so with a capacity to collaboratively assess and transform prickly, challenging issues into common areas of agreement and commitment. Further they can deliver tough messages, dramatically change expectations, and challenge dysfunctional behavior in a constructive manner.
This fast-moving, research-grounded, experiential workshop focuses on further building relational (people-to-people) engagement muscles to conduct “straight talk” in big and small ways, when it really counts. The underlying principles further build a capacity to hold people accountable, while increasing commitment and performance. It drives and sustains impact and competitive advantage at the leader, team, and organizational level.
