Conflict Management

Conflict, when managed well, is an important resource for organizational and individual growth and performance improvement.

Leaders who understand the constructive potential in conflict are better able to leverage the positive contributions that different perspectives can provide for organizational improvement. 

Conflict in organizations is seldom attributable to personalities; rather, competition for resources and status, different roles, different goals, and personal values are more likely to foster conflict. The successful leader will engage organizational members in dialogue to identify these differences in a neutral environment. This will support understanding and the creative use of different strengths. Praxis consultants are experienced in engaging organizational groups in this dialogue.

Using an integrative approach, we combine education, coaching and reflective practice to work through the conflict management process. We create a safe space for the discussion that must occur if organizations are to move forward.
