Why you should read The Essential Guide to Workplace Mediation & Conflict Resolution

When a dispute disrupts the workplace, managers need to act fast before performance declines, morale wanes and everyone in the company suffers. Mediation consultant Nora Doherty and business trainer Marcelas Guyler have written a helpful textbook on various ways to resolve workplace conflicts. Using several academic studies and practical examples, the authors present a range of mediation models and tactics for effective dispute resolution. They cite numerous disagreements involving people in a plethora of different cultures and jobs, from the assembly line to the boardroom. This is a dense, detailed book, so getAbstract recommends it to serious students of mediation and to human resources professionals who require in-depth solutions.
