Leadership skills training and development can assist good natural leaders to become great leaders. One of the essential skills for great leaders is the ability to “see what is going on”. Other essential skills include good communication, being articulate, able to think on your feet, humour, flexibility, integrity, compelling presence, empathy.

16.   Conflict ResolutionCalendar

 Conflict is the stuff of life! Conflict comes from differences – in values, needs and motivations. Sometimes these differences compliment each other, sometimes there is conflict. Conflict is not a problem in itself – however how we deal with it can be.

Conflict resolution skills can enable personal differences to be bypassed and open up possibilities for resolution. The skills of conflict resolution have the power to draw us closer to others as solutions are sought jointly to balance needs. It involves a powerful shift from adversaries to co-operative partners. In this shift everyone benefits. Conflict resolution teaches the psychology of effective communication.

TKT Education provides tailor made education and training in effective conflict resolution skills that can assist in improving how your organisation functions.
