Managing Conflict
Department chairs can prevent many issues from mushrooming into major problems through early intervention. Sometimes chairs delay difficult conversations with colleagues because they lack expertise to tactfully encourage change or to deliver bad news. What skills and strategies might chairs develop to facilitate difficult conversations? What strategies can motivate and support faculty members to become more productive? Participants will explore how to have a frank conversation with a colleague and have an opportunity to discuss strategies, techniques, and resources. To Register go to:
