Conflict Management

Conflict is not a malfunction of organisations — it is a permanent feature of humans pursuing goals together with different interests, information and identities. Managed poorly, it burns relationships, talent and months; managed well, it produces better decisions than harmony ever could. Conflict management is therefore a core organisational-behaviour syllabus topic and a daily leadership craft.

This course covers the field's academic backbone and its practical toolkit across nine lessons: conflict's nature and functional-dysfunctional distinction, sources and process models, escalation dynamics (Glasl's staircase), the Thomas-Kilmann style instrument, interpersonal skills for difficult conversations, principled negotiation applied to disputes, mediation and third-party intervention, organisational conflict systems and grievance design, and cross-cultural conflict competence.

Fourteen exam questions in 25 minutes at 65% pass — unlocked after all nine lessons.
