Managing Difficult Conversations
Manage conflict constructively, achieve better outcomes, and build stronger relationships.
The ability to confidently handle difficult conversations is an important dimension of leadership performance and “executive presence.” As a leader, you must be prepared to face the demands of reality, deal with issues before they spin out of control, and move to address systemic problems that hold the organization back. “Managing Difficult conversations” provides the tool kit to confidently manage conflict, achieve better outcomes, and build stronger relationships.
"The Healthcare Private Equity Association (HCPEA) held its inaugural interactive Continuing Education event in New York City and Dirk Schlimm was our speaker on the subject of ‘difficult conversations in the boardroom.’ Dirk was very engaging. He combined background information and many examples on the topic, and had the audience participate in simulated Board situations where tough discussions are necessary. We received very positive feedback on the session!"
