All managers are conflict managers, and Conflict Management and Leadership for Managers, Third Edition coaches current and future organizational leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent and manage every common source of conflict faced at work. This text is divided into three sections: conflict management and collaboration basics, strategies for preventing conflicts inside your work teams and organizations, and processes and skills for enhancing relationships with external stakeholders.

This comprehensive, all-in-one resource offers skill-based exercises, self-assessments for role understanding and goal-setting, and a variety of learner-friendly tools. Informed by decades of experience working with organizations of all types, sizes, missions, and cultures, Susan S.

Raines demonstrates how effective and creative managers positively address conflict to enhance collaboration and mission achievement, thrive in rapidly changing environments, and craft a positive brand image for both one’s organization and their own career.
