Timing: 2-8 hrs.

Mastering Obstacles to Collaboration
Every one faces conflicts that might spin out of control as well as more ordinary conflicts that create friction and inefficiencies. This line of training marerials is activity-based and integrated into a powerful book that includes worksheets/activity notes. Participants discover what their most natural style is and how they can master obstacles to collaboration efficiently with others.
This great little book is packed with information on conflict management, researches, entertaining games, activities and helpful resources to turn any workshop into a pleasant experience.
Divided into two sections, participants learn that people who produce the best results under the pressure of conflict don’t argue or fight but instead use a specific tailored communication vocabulary to reach out and understand the other side’s concerns. Best as pre-reading assignment, the first part (the book) relates the story of a wizard encountering a dragon, explains the five conflict styles, and offers many tips to master disputes and disagreements. The second part (the workshop) teaches useful strategies to understand others and achieve rewarding collaboration and teamwork. It includes many worksheets, cases, a self-assessment and a game.
Why can't we ignore conflicts?
1) We should tackle most conflicts without anxiety, uncertainty or fear to bring them to a reasonable and fair solution.
2) It is always a good rule of thumb to "be safe rather than sorry".
