Conflict
Conflict between individuals or groups can exact a high cost.
• Colleagues avoiding communication
• A fragmented executive committee
• Grievances
• Poor co-operation on an urgent project
These nightmare scenarios can keep protagonists and managers awake at night.
And daytime isn't much better: difficult atmospheres, absenteeism, ill-health, stress, inertia, undermined performance.
We have a simple message: DON'T LET CONFLICT FESTER!
You can do something practical to address unhelpful behaviour and resolve disputes.
It's important to grasp the nettle because tension can ripple out to a wider community.
We have developed a distinctive approach to organisational conflict: we are able to synthesise our skills as mediators with our experience in businesses and other organisations.
Firstly, we help you resolve underlying disputes through mediation.
We can then look beyond the immediate issues towards sustainable problem-solving actions.
That way you can reduce the risk that similar circumstances will trigger similar problems.
Our creative approach frequently leads to unexpected but valuable pastures.
''As leader of a specialist technical team, I'd struggled for some time to find a way to build a more effective team and to resolve the friction between some of its members. SpiroNicholson's collaborative and supportive approach to resolving the conflict, and their interpersonal skills training, helped us over the stumbling blocks. The team and its members made tangible progress as a result of their engagement.'
