Diverse teams provide great value and are essential for creativity and innovation. They also have the potential for generating unintentional conflict. A leader’s response to this can make the difference between disengagement and increased team cohesion that leads to stronger organizational outcomes.
In Transforming Conflict to Strategic Collaboration, participants utilize Constructive Conflict principles to transform team conflicts into opportunities for sharing opposing ideas, to appreciate various points of view, and to increase engagement and productivity.
This retreat is designed for clinical, non-clinical and administrative health care leaders who want to harness the power of diverse teams to increase creativity, innovation, and success.
Join other health care leaders for this program on RUSH University’s Illinois Medical District campus.
It was great information. You get to look at conflict in a different way and the facilitators demonstrated it in a workable way. Conflict does not have to be a hard thing to address. We just have to have the confidence and understand it.
