Managing Conflict & Having Hard Conversations
The literature on high-performing teams and organisations makes it clear that one of the critical factors for high performance is effective communication and management of conflict.
When leaders and managers don’t communicate well, they make things difficult for themselves, each other and their teams. Small issues escalate and the evidence makes it clear that destructive conflict reduces productivity and creates ‘toxic’ workplaces.
We specialise in helping people develop their communication and conflict management capability and confidence. We help people develop their ability to give feedback effectively and have the hard conversations that are needed to protect the organisation’s culture and deliver desired outcomes.
We do this through our highly acclaimed Mastering Hard Conversations program (details of which you can download below), as well as through individual and team coaching programs.
A number of the Balanced Curve team are accredited mediators under the National Accreditation scheme and highly skilled in helping leaders and managers develop their interpersonal, collaboration and conflict management skills.
