 A supervisor's job has become complicated to say the least. In today's workplace simply using a "common-sense approach" will not always shield your supervisors and managers from the liability they face. A supervisor's decisions or statements that may appear insignificant can lead to trouble and expose the supervisor and their organization to costly litigation. Supervisors now must comply with an increasing number of laws and regulations - just ask Jack Cade. Jack Cade's Nightmare I: A Supervisor's Guide to Laws Affecting the Workplace was designed to help reduce the potential liability that all organizations and their management staffs face on a daily basis. This training program will sensitize supervisors and managers to the problems and legal liabilities that can arise under the rapidly changing labor and employment laws. Key Training Points:

Conflict becomes destructive when anger, jealousy, and other strong emotions turn the focus away from problem solving and toward personal attacks. Destructive conflict can ruin relationships among workers, interfere with productivity, destroy teamwork, and contribute to employee absenteeism and turnover.
While acknowledging common sources of conflict, this entertaining video provides eight specific, reliable solutions: skills that help you put aside your differences, control your emotions, and move forward.
Learn these solutions:
• Responding with empathy
• Active listening
• Setting a limit
• Finding something to agree with
• Using “I” language instead of “You” language
• Disengaging to cool off
• Appealing to mutual self-interest
• Attacking the problem, not the person
Now, it is true that there are many things you CAN’T control when you are dealing with your coworkers or colleagues. But there are skills you can learn to keep disagreements constructive and resolve conflicts in a positive way. The most important thing to keep in mind is that resolving conflict is not about one person proving the other person wrong. Resolving conflict is about working WITH the other person to solve the problem and maintain the relationship.
Bottom line: there will always be conflict. The secret is learning to manage it successfully. Doing so empowers you to take control of your life—and career.
Includes: This 50-page booklet accompanies the video and provides the opportunity to take a pre-test & post-test to evaluate knowledge of conflict resolution, understand common sources of workplace conflicts, grasp negative consequences, learn easy-to-use techniques, and much more!
