Aims of the path

It's no secret that disagreements can sometimes happen when people with different personalities, opinions and values come together.

You’ll discover why workplace conflict can actually be a good thing, how to have a difficult conversation and how to seek help when progress is at a standstill or you’re dealing with an abusive coworker.

Overview

In an ideal world, you'd always get along with everyone. Decisions would be easy and unanimous. Everyone would be on the same page and the daily stressors of work would bring people together rather than pull them apart. 

But the reality is disagreements and conflict are sometimes inevitable. Different personalities, opinions or values clash, misunderstandings happen and feelings get hurt.

Find out what you can do to ensure you and your team-mates can work through conflict constructively and respectfully.
