Being an assertive leader: managing conflict

Being an assertive leader: managing conflict

Managing and dealing with conflict in both the workplace and in our personal lives is a key component to building and maintaining healthy relationships. We have all lost our power or position through the wrath or negative behaviour of another, or in this battle for supremacy, have over-extended our own power to push ourselves as the ultimate authority. Conflict is not a one-sided game, and with better self-awareness and emotional management, we can begin to better manage others by understanding what part our own behaviour plays in manifesting, fuelling or even minimising conflict.
