Managing Conflict in the Boardroom
ABOUT THE EVENT
As we have seen all too tragically, conflict managed ineffectively can easily turn into destructive behaviour destroying lives and livelihoods in the process.
Yet, in a board and leadership context, if managed well conflict can also be a highly positive force for good. Conflicting ideas, objectives and personalities can be powerful stimulants for creativity and prove strong vaccines against the dangers of ‘Group think’.
Given the increased pressures, uncertainty and volatility of the last few years the ability to manage conflict well has become a defining characteristic for successful leaders and organisations.
This highly participative peer to peer workshop will focus on managing conflict effectively in a leadership setting, learning from each other and sharing practical ideas on dealing with a range of common and topical conflicts.
It will be facilitated by Patrick Dunne, a highly experienced Chair with extensive experience of working with boards and managing conflict in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. He is the author of the award winning book ‘Boards’ and a highly rated tutor on our Financial Times Board Director Programmes.
We very much hope that you will be able to join us. Places are strictly limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis so make sure you book your place early.
