Publisher Description:

If you lead or manage people, processes or projects, you have experienced workplace conflict. After all, where there are people, there is conflict. And where there is conflict, there is a choice.

In Peace in the Workplace: Transforming Conflict Into Collaboration, international speaker, peace-building trainer and mediator Robyn Short provides insight and guidance to help leaders and organizations understand that conflict does not equal inevitable negativity or disruption. Short explores the science behind conflict and human interaction to help leaders develop strategies to navigate disagreements, manage and celebrate differences and, ultimately, cultivate a working environment that encourages, enables and empowers employees to thrive and pursue a life of security, dignity and peace.

This book will help you:

  • Educate and transform your leadership team so they help bring forth the best in others
  • Discover how to harness the benefits of workplace conflict
  • Foster human-to-human connectivity by identifying and managing destructive behavior
  • Optimize employee engagement by celebrating differences and ensuring every employee feels valued

Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is navigating conflict nonviolently while preserving and respecting the dignity of employees. This book will illuminate pathways to peace in your workplace and inspire you to become an agent of positive change.
