Resilient in Conflict: How Managers Use Mindfulness to Navigate Workplace Conflict with Courage

Mindfulness For Resilience In The Workplace

This book offers a road map for how managers can apply mindfulness–that is, attention, intentionally and purposefully placed–to conflict. While it might not seem like it, conflict offers a gift: the opportunity to develop our fortitude and capacity–our resilience–to be in conflict with courage, skillfulness, and wisdom. Managers don’t have to engage in habitual, reactive behaviors that lead to destructive organizational outcomes. Instead, managers can foster workplaces where relationships are stronger, decisions are of higher quality, and strife is diminished. How? By using the SNAP BC™ approach discussed in this book, managers can gain greater confidence, insight, and resilience to lead and model skillful, compassionate conflict self-management.
