Course description

Having the skills and confidence to handle uncomfortable talks with personnel is vital to being a good manager. Every day we engage in countless discussions, each crucial to creating our expectations, relationships, and outcomes. Navigating discussions effectively demands skills such as social intelligence, boldness, self-control, and humility. You’ll develop as a leader if you’re not afraid of having difficult conversations; you’ll be able to address issues that have been plaguing your team (the sooner, the better); and you’ll send a message to your team that you’re willing to confront any negative or underperforming members who are dragging the group down. Conversations are crucial to language development, exchanging views and ideas, and listening to each other. Difficult talks are a critical element of working well with others. Reaching an agreement is frequently the first step toward creating a better work environment. Meanwhile, avoiding disagreement can generate enormous rifts in the workplace. These missed interactions lead to poorer employee engagement and productivity.

What are the benefits of successfully navigating a contentious discussion?

If a company or organization wants to be successful, its employees, managers, departments, and overall structure must be capable of handling difficult topics efficiently. It’s possible that avoiding these awkward conversations will result in shorter-term gains for the organization than will their longer-term repercussions because of the enormous amounts of time, effort, and resources that are thrown away in the high-stakes battles that are a direct consequence of this, not to mention the damage done to the team’s ability to be creative. On the other hand, when challenging conversations are successfully managed, it is simpler to provide complex feedback to increase productivity and collaboration, stress is reduced for both the individual and the group as a whole, and as a result, improved morale leads to better decision-making because of the lower risk of burnout. Keeping your personal and professional relationships in good shape is necessary to successfully manage challenging conversations.
