—It Doesn’t Have to Be Hard: The Power of P.O.S.I.T.I.V.E. Conflict Resolution [Part I], presented by Melinda Stallings, CEO of Melinda Stallings International. Surveys indicate 63% of all managers say they don’t know how to resolve a conflict; 81% of employees say that when they experience conflict, they feel like nothing is done about it, and your best employees leave when dissatisfied with management; and 25% to 40% of a manager’s time is spent dealing with conflict every week. Take your average manager’s salary and multiply by 25% to see how much you are losing through ineffective conflict resolution practices. In this session, learn how personality and perception affect conflict, how to be proactive rather than reactive in conflict situations and how to deliver a “courageous conversation.
