Conflict Resolution

Conflicts will happen; it’s true in business because it’s true in life. According to The Family Firm Institute, 20% of family businesses report weekly conflict, another 20% report monthly conflict, and 42% report conflict three to four times per year.

There’s a difference between disagreements and conflict. Disagreements can be healthy and help solve difficult challenges. Conflict, on the other hand, can be destructive.

Confronting conflict, mediating disagreements, and creating a clear path to dealing with future conflict is the key to long term business and family harmony.

FAMILY CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Conflict resolution techniques use the positive emotional bonds of family to facilitate actions and proven techniques that lower the temperature and allow both the business and family to operate more effectively and harmoniuosly.

Conflict resolution is a skill that can be learned and developed for use with employees and even vendors or customers. Improving communication skills is the first step to breaking through barriers and speeding learning.

NEW WHITE PAPER: “Proof of Financing”

by John Woodcock | Mar 23, 2023

There’s not much point in building things if a project owner(s) cannot meet his obligations! If you’re working for government or public entities, this usually isn’t a worry. Private owners and developers – especially if the economy softens over time – can present a...

It’s What You STAND FOR!

by Wayne Rivers | Mar 21, 2023

Roy Spence wrote It’s Not What You Sell, It’s What you Stand For, and it’s a great book (thanks, John Woodcock)! It sounds like a book about selling, doesn’t it? It isn’t, and I think Spence got his title wrong. He should have gone with the subtitle Why Every...

The Secret for Finding Your Happiness

by Dennis Engelbrecht | Mar 15, 2023

Construction has traditionally been viewed as a rather grim industry. Wake up, work incredibly hard, drop in bed at night exhausted, and then get up and do it all over again – for decades. But does it really have to be that way? Why can’t you have a team of high...
