NLI Trainings
- Negotiating Conflict (3 days)
show details
This program was developed in collaboration with the National Leadership Institute (NLI), housed at our sister campus, University of Maryland University College. This highly interactive program provides managers with a 360-degree assessment of their conflict behaviors, as well as professional observation and coaching. Participants learn the important techniques of negotiation, conflict management, and collaborative leadership and then practice these new approaches in an on-line simulation in which they assume the roles of decision-makers who must work together, but who have both mutual and conflicting interests.
