Conflict Management Tips From Our Roy Group Experts

“Problems compound when, in the heat of a conflict situation, we go dark. It’s not that we go dark for any sort of vengeful reasons, either; usually it’s just that our bandwidth is low, we’re not sure what the right course of action is, we’re worried that we’ll weaken trust, or we’re afraid of making it worse.” — Anne-Marie Daniel in The High Cost Of Avoiding Conflict: Six Tips For Handling Disharmony

“Learning how to handle conflict is incredibly important for leaders. It’s important for anyone, really, unless they’re living in a cave on a mountaintop, but significantly so for leaders, as they set the tone for their team’s engagement and ability to work in harmony.” — Alice Estey in From Combat To Connection: Turning Conflict Into A Productive Force

“Most of our clients have been introduced to a coaching approach to leadership at some point in their engagement with us. They embrace the practical tools and the underlying philosophy. The question they inevitably ask is, ‘How does this approach work when emotions are high? When you have “skin in the game” and when an inevitable change of course is really, really uncomfortable?’ ” — Bradley Chisholm in Missed Opportunity: A Coaching Approach to Conflict

Opportunity in Conflict™ RECHARGE

19 & 21 September 2023 — Virtual

Opportunity in Conflict™ RECHARGE is an integration event that builds on the learning and practice initially introduced in Opportunity in Conflict™.

The Recharge gives leaders an opportunity to deepen both their understanding and practice in a supervised setting, and receive real-time feedback on their performance from both their peers and our practitioners.

Through this dynamic and impactful experience,

Participants will

reflect on current successes and challenges you’ve faced in applying the theory and skills of the keystone Roy Group learning experiences;
share your learning and explore possible approaches in light of specific contextual features;
incorporate new understandings into your current leadership practice;
practice and integrate this learning in real time, surrounded by professional peers; and
set goals for further practice and integration.

What It Looks Like When Leaders Commit to Practicing Their Craft

We say leadership is a practice of practices. Learning and improvement only stick when leaders commit to the discipline of practicing their new tools and approaches. There is deep value in gathering with others in a supervised session to practice key leadership behaviours.

Rigorous practice confers ever-finer mastery by a leader over their conduct: deeper skill in sensing, guiding, and knowing what it is time for; more sophistication in using questions to unlock the potential inside others; living and modeling Henderson’s disciplines; curiosity and openness in thinking; acceptance, compassion and trust; and an ability to inspire others to make their finest contributions.

The Event

Session 1
Tuesday, 19 September, 9:00-11:30 am Pacific Time

Session 2
Thursday, 21 September, 9:00-11:30 am Pacific Time

Feedback about Roy Group virtual sessions

— Really loved the trio work in breakout rooms. It was really easy to get comfortable with the two other people quickly, and to be able to practice what we learned. The entire execution was put on so well…

— Technology was seamless. Fast paced, well organized, nice and congenial leadership.

— The practice sessions were fantastic. The structure and the process of having ample opportunity for feedback and mentor training was wonderful.

— Being able to put some of the concepts to use right away is a great learning environment for me.
