Institute for Leadership Excellence & Development Inc.

It's critical for aspiring leaders to learn how to negotiate conflict. Whether we like it or not, we can count on it: any time people are involved, and given enough time, there will be conflict. Our popular workshop is available in an e-learning format.

One stakeholder says Zig. The other says Zag. No compromise in sight, but the project deadline looms closer on the horizon. The rock and the hard place--welcome to the world of managing people and projects! If it wasn't for people, our jobs would be much easier, or so it seems at times!

We have worked with tens of thousands of people from hundreds of companies, helping them deliver their projects, become more confident leaders, take focused action, and to achieve the results they desire while maintaining a balanced life. We have found you don't have to like conflict but your ability to successfully & consistently deliver results can depend on how confidently you navigate conflict.

A CEO of a consulting firm was concerned that his leadership team and consultants were too often just giving in when confronted by clients. The result was project scope creep and reduced margins. After having their employees take a conflict mode assessment and seeing the consolidated results, they learned practical strategies to more confidently and effectively deal with conflict situations without sacrificing client relationships.

Who is this Course Designed For?

Project managers, project leads, business analysts, team leaders, project team members, and stakeholders. We've had salespeople, administrative assistants, engineers, and more take this workshop and learn how to better manage conflict.

Bottom-line: If you work with people, this course is for you.
