Most managers spend too much time putting out fires that could have been prevented with better planning and more deliberate actions. These events collide to create a constant strain for managers. This program gives them the tools to better manage themselves so they are less drained from these realities, it clarifies processes for handling conflicts head-on before they become too hot to handle, and it pro-vides practice in communication skills for turning difficult situations into win-wins almost all the time.Spring 2016
