Master Conflict Without Being a Bitch: Get Results Without Losing Your Cool

Summary

Do you avoid conflict at all costs? If so, you are completely normal, but that doesn’t make you an effective friend, partner, or from a business perspective, a good leader. Leadership matters most when there is no agreement about how to move forward. And while conflict is a necessary component of peaceful, successful organizations, the most successful leaders know how to navigate conflict without drama and confrontation. That’s because healthy conflict isn’t intense or threatening. It can be as benign as a small difference of opinion, but it’s necessary for evolution since without conflict, nothing grows. This book is about YOU. If you have the discipline to master the five strategies Dr. Judy Morley lays out, you will be much more confident in situations with potential disagreement. Since you will no longer fear conflict, you won’t worry about interactions that might start it. You will enter every situation, relationship or conversation with the ability to stand up for yourself, listen thoroughly to the other person’s perspective, and avoid bruised egos or hurt feelings. Ultimately, you’ll have the confidence to get results. You will learn:

• How to Anticipate Potential Problems
• To Set Clear Expectations
• When to Hold People Accountable
• How to Overcome Resistance
• To End Unproductive Relationships Productively

You can be a leader who has mastered the art of conflict—someone who is direct, clear, forceful, yet kind. You will be able to master conflict absolutely without being a bitch. And if someone happens to call you one, you will be able to walk away with enough confidence not to care
