About This Course

This course will show you how to recognize the deeper causes of interpersonal conflict. It emphasizes skills to help you critically evaluate explosive situations and choose the appropriate strategies and tools to manage and/or resolve these conflicts. You will develop greater awareness of what pushes your buttons and how to control your reactions. You will also be able to assist your direct reports in looking at their own triggers for upset and coach them in behaving in more productive ways. Many conflicts are situational and focus on business problems. Fortunately, by gaining agreements around a specific issue the tension is easily resolved. However, many times conflicts are based on personality disconnects and these are usually more intense and impactful over longer periods of time. When you and your team have awareness about both types of conflicts you can evaluate the situation more quickly and make a judgment call on which tools will get the conflict resolved faster and smarter. If you can ask the right questions to find out the underlying cause of interpersonal disputes you have a much better chance of finding a long term solution.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
