The Drama-Free Workplace: 3 Ways to Address Conflict So Your Nonprofit Can Stay Focused on the Important Work
Is drama between staff or board members keeping your organization from getting work done? Occasional tensions, differences of opinion or outright arguments can be expected to erupt at some point – usually at the worst possible moment when an internal crisis is the last thing you want to deal with!
Successful leaders must lead effectively – so don’t get caught without a strategic plan in place to mitigate and even pre-empt the drama to keep moving forward.
Join us for the April edition of the Big Buzz Breakfast Club to learn these best practices. You’ll develop valuable conflict resolution skills to unlock creativity in your staff, overcome barriers to cooperation and collaboration with your board, and discover:
- The benefits of facing staff and board conflict to overcome drama
- Simple methods to build a structure that helps your staff, board and volunteers work harmoniously – and avoid future conflicts
- How to nip disruptive conflict in the bud
Sign up for the Roundtable discussion on Thursday, April 15th for a group workshop where we can discuss your organization’s membership challenges and work through your specific plan in more detail.
