Learning Objectives
Leaders spend considerable time managing interpersonal conflict. The substantive issues being negotiated in health care often require a difficult decision between two equally good or bad alternatives – with the care of a patient in the mix. The need to effectively and quickly negotiate through informal, unarticulated channels makes strong relationships critical.
One way to effectively manage conflict and ultimately build strong relationships as a leader is through frame-based feedback, which is founded on the concept that people’s actions are driven by their “frames,” or their point of view regarding the situation at hand. Without discussing a feedback receiver’s frames, changes to his or her learning and behavior is unlikely.
Within a learning environment that will facilitate career growth, this program will develop your expertise in the following critical areas:
- Develop strategies for overcoming the barriers and challenges to conflict management
- Apply the skills of using frame-based feedback to conflict management and relationship building
- Identify the key components of organizational accountability for supporting a culture of trust and psychological safety
- Explore the dynamics of influence in the context of health care leadership
- Develop strategies for overcoming the most difficult challenges of negotiation
- Apply the skill of interest-based negotiations to real situations
