Summary: Mark Hehl with <a href="http://www.solutions4business.consulting/">Solutions4Business</a> joins host <a title="Craig Price – The Host" href="http://realitycheck.therealistsguide.com/craig-price/">Craig Price </a>to discuss conflict management. Not many people like conflict in the workplace and even fewer like getting involved when the conflict may not involve you. Mark and Craig discuss how conflict can be good for organizations, but they also discuss how planning ahead can eliminate many of the potential conflicts that could pop up on a project. They discuss the reasons for conflict, including people who just like pushing buttons and causing chaos (Craig calls them "social terrorists") as well as separate departments having separate goals and never communicating them to each other. All of this talk will be showcased at the Southern New England Chapter of PMI Professional Development Day in Hartford CT this April 27th and 28th.
