In February's Leadership Enrichment meeting, Adam Mayhew, Dean of Undergraduate Business Programs at the College of Business at Baker College, brings his expertise in business ethics, leadership, and conflict management to help participants navigate challenges and build collaborative solutions.
In his presentation, Adam will discuss:
Conflict Cycle
- What
it Means: The conflict cycle refers to the stages that
conflicts often go through, from inception to resolution. Recognizing
these stages helps in addressing conflicts early and preventing
escalation.
Systems-thinking
- What
it Means: A holistic approach that considers conflicts part of
a larger system rather than isolated events. This involves understanding
how different factors, people, and systems interact and influence the
conflict.
Candid Communications
- What
it Means: Open, honest, and respectful communication where all
parties involved express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns directly
without manipulation or avoidance.
Resolutions
- What
it Means: The process of finding a solution to the conflict
that addresses the needs and interests of all parties involved, resulting
in a mutual agreement or understanding.
