CONFLICT
CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION
Conflict is inevitable and, when tended, is the spark for strong relationships, teams and innovation. When there is a diverse workforce, conflict skills are even more critical. Let us help you turn tension into talent.
Organizations are filled by people with these different perceptions. Unfortunately they often act as if there’s only two ways to deal with this. One is to fight about who is right. The other is to pretend that there’s no disagreement. Both are lousy choices. The Yarbrough Group’s work is a third option.
