Managing Conflict in Meetings Presented by Brian Egan

About the Topic

Project meetings and conflict are inseparable. While conflict is usually viewed as a barrier to progress, it can actually help the project if channeled effectively. In this presentation, you will learn about the types of conflict, how to manage them, and how to use the tension of conflict as a positive force for progress. (Note: this presentation is an excerpt from a two-day class that Brian teaches.)
