Conflict Management encompasses a series of processes used to identify, address, and peacefully resolve disputes or disagreements between two or more individuals or set of groups.
We focus on five methods to manage and resolve conflict: (1) Communication; (2) Negoitation; (3) Mediation; (4) Collaboration; and (5) Arbitration.
The method used for a dispute depends on the particular dispute and parties.
Above all... using biblical instruction!
Business Owners that subscribe to our Outsourced Legal Counsel ("OLC") service have the option to add on any task under Conflict Management.
