Conflict shifts the focus away from work and the basic goals of the team, department and organization, negatively impacting productivity and thus, patient care. Surveys show that managers now spend about 20 percent of their time on conflict resolution.

This program gives healthcare workers true insight and the lasting strategies for working through conflicts with less dependence on superiors. Based on the world-famous Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, this program offers proven methods for recognizing and resolving conflict.
