Where to from here?
Conflict is part of every team. Handled well, it leads to better ideas and stronger working relationships. Handled badly, it drains energy and drives good people away.
This bite-size course shows you how to manage team conflict with confidence. You'll learn how different perceptions create conflict, the factors that turn healthy debate into something damaging, and how situations escalate from disagreement to crisis.
You'll explore how we communicate under pressure and why authentic communication matters, then learn practical ways to deal with conflict, including how to balance speaking and listening through advocacy and inquiry, and how to avoid a workplace tug-of-war.
Today many disagreements start in a chat message or email where tone is easily misread, and in hybrid teams, small frustrations can simmer unnoticed. The skills in this course help you address issues early, wherever your team works.
Each lecture is short and focused, so you can learn one idea tonight and use it at work tomorrow. You'll finish by preparing for a real conflict conversation using a simple planner you can use again and again.
Who this course is for:
Team leaders and managers handling team tensions
Team members who want to resolve disagreements constructively
Anyone working in hybrid or remote teams
