Can’t We All Just Get Along?
Conflict is inevitable The question is not how to avoid conflict but how to manage it effectively When handled with training and expertise, conflict can lead to positive outcomes, improved solutions to problems, and major innovation Conflict abounds in most every environment, certainly in the workplace. People at all levels in a corporation or institution must learn to accept conflict as an inevitable part of their work environment. A study conducted by CPP Human Capital in 2008 found that an overwhelming majority (85%) of employees experience conflict to some degree. Furthermore, it found that U.S. employees spend 2.8 hours per week dealing with conflict, equating to approximately $359 billion in paid hours. If managed improperly, businesses’ productivity, operational effectiveness, and morale are negatively impacted. CPP report findings that 27 percent of employees have witnessed conflict morph into a personal attack, while 25 percent say that the avoidance of conflict resulted in sickness or absence from work. Many models of conflict resolution across the ages – religious teachings to Crucial Conversations

Not Too Late… Homework Two Truths and a Lie
Write down three facts about yourself on a sheet of paper. Two of them are true; one is a lie. One at a time each person will read off their “facts.” The group will discuss the information (the fact giver should remain quiet) and will vote individually on which fact is the lie. Scoring: A point is given to the fact giver for each person they fooled. A point is also given to each participant that guessed the lie correctly. The person with the most points after all participants have shared their facts wins the game. Report back tomorrow who won!
