Mastering Conflict in Family Business
Conflict: love it, hate it, fight it, embrace it; it's not ever going away.
Family business; if you are part of one, you can bet your bottom dollar there will be some conflict (look at the above sentence)!
If you are part of a family business, you have signed on for the accelerated program in work and life. Since you are in the "AP" class, you need the skills for handling complex issues around:
- Boundaries
- Fairness
- Communication
- Active Listening
- Appropriate Responding
- Succession Planning
Patterned responses to communication and conflict were learned when you still had your baby teeth. Even though you are now all grown up and in mature relationships, when stress hits the hot button, there is a tendency to go back to behavior patterns learned in childhood.
Being Pattern Aware is the work of 21st Century leaders. There is enough knowledge in neuropsychology, cognitive thinking, emotional intelligence and pattern aware relationship dynamics to help you create a work environment programmed for productivity and success.
Results you can expect:
- Understand structural similarities between work groups and family groups
- Identify your own patterns of dealing with conflict
- Uncover hidden group patterns that serve or sabotage family business
- Find the way OUT of conflict, chaos, and workplace tensions
- Learn how to transform conflict into new ways to build trust and unleash creativity
- Gain skills to build a culture of trust, collaboration and accountability
