Two employees disagree. Both want you to decide who’s right. As their manager, you feel pressure to fix it fast.

There is another skill: guide a conversation that helps employees understand each other and work toward a solution they own.

Our new half-day, live online course, From Fixing to Facilitating: Essential Conflict Skills for Managers, helps managers, supervisors, team leads, and other leaders practice that approach. Learn to listen beneath stated positions, ask questions that surface what matters, and recognize when a management decision, coaching, or a referral is the right next step.

Upcoming sessions, 9am to 1pm ET:
• Thursday, October 29
• Tuesday, December 1

Offered by ADR Vantage, Inc. in partnership with Graduate School USA.

Most organizations will mark Conflict Resolution Month by posting about it. Here is something more useful to do in October.

Run a three-question audit on your team:

1. When something goes wrong, how long does it take to reach me? If the answer is weeks, people are managing around you, not with you.
2. Who on my team has stopped disagreeing with me? Sudden agreement is rarely a sign of alignment.
3. What is the last conflict we resolved, and did anything actually change? Resolution that changes nothing teaches people not to raise things.

If the answers concern you, better to know that in October than in an exit interview in March. Contact us at [email protected] for support.

It's Conflict Resolution Day today - worth remembering what the day is actually for. Never the absence of conflict; the skill to handle it well when it shows up.

A team that never argues is not a team that agrees. It's usually a team that decided disagreeing isn't worth it. That silence has a price. Decisions get made without the objection that would have improved them. Problems get flagged late, or not at all. The person carrying the concern carries it alone, until they leave.

None of that is a personality problem. It's a skills gap, and skills can be built.
So mark the day somewhere small. Ask the person who has gone quiet in your last three meetings what they actually think, and stay in the room for the answer.
Happy Conflict Resolution Day.

We've all felt that spike of anxiety when "URGENT" or “ASAP” lands in our inbox with no deadline, no context, and no idea what to drop.

Wes Kao calls these "high-strung, non-specific words," and her fix is refreshingly simple: swap the vague urgency for a sequence, a timeline, and a clear note on what can wait. Your team stays calm, your work stays on track, and everyone spends less energy decoding and more energy doing.

This one's worth five minutes today: https://buff.ly/DPN44m4
