Facilitating Dialogue in situations of Conflict
Level: Introductory
The secret to high performing XP teams is unfettered communication. And where there is communication, there’s bound to be conflict. Be it meetings or discussions around the table, when views collide we all notice conflict. This said why do some groups deal with conflict better? How can facilitators and team members ensure constructive dialogue in the face of conflicting perspectives?
Join Sumeet and Rixt for 90 minutes as they simulate a conflict situation to guide you through a self-discovery of how you can facilitate or participate effectively in situations of conflict. It should be fun!
