She carefully details her step-by-step conflict resolution system as she teaches managers how to use this elegant approach to restore workplace peace. Her philosophy and methods are equally effective in handling disagreements between employees or between friends or family members.

11 months agoInteresting in theory. In practice, workplace conflicts typically originate from fundamental incompatible in personality or personal ideologies, rather than differences in rational opinions. This renders pragmatic (Akido) methods described in this book ineffective, since the conflict will simply continue in more subtle but no less severe outlets following mediated conflict resolution. Increasing physical and emotional distance between said parties remains the only definite remedy.
