Did you know?
Conflict Management refers to the long-term management of intractable conflicts.
It is the label for the variety of ways by which people handle grievances — standing
up for what they consider to be right and against what they consider to be wrong.
Those ways include such diverse phenomena as gossip, ridicule, feuding, law,
mediation, and avoidance.
Which forms of Conflict Management will be used in any given situation can be
somewhat predicted and explained by the social structure — or social geometry
— of the case.
Conflict Management is a deliberate personal, social and organizational tool,
especially used by capable politicians and other social engineers.

The Curriculum
Whether working for a large corporation, a small start-up, a non-profit, a government
agency, community, or in education-- conflict is part of everyday life. Often the typical
outcome of solving a dispute seems unfair or unresponsive to the groups and individu-
als most involved. The Conflict Management program offers an understanding of the
diverse attitudes toward conflict in situations that are often highly political and emotion-
