Management

Common language, methods and tools can both make management collaboration smoother and increase management's ability to support, coordinate and implement behaviour and communication that supports well-being, psychological safety and constructive conflict management in the organization and employee group.

As a people manager, it can be difficult to handle when challenges or outright conflicts arise in the relationship between the manager and all or part of the employee group. It can also be difficult to get real help to successfully re-establish or build a following from your management colleagues because they are not present where the "battle is being fought" and they may themselves be part of the approach or thinking that has led to the challenges escalating.

It can sometimes be difficult for the line manager to fully understand what persistent colleague conflicts are really about, and not least what you as a manager can do to best support a real solution to the problem.
