The authors explain how "leaning into conflict" not only defuses workplace tensions but also releases blocked energy into positive channels." "Turning Conflict Into Profit challenges the typical ways in which most people perceive, interpret, and respond to conflict. It exposes the psychological and cultural factors that keep us mired in disputes. It recognizes that our response to conflict is a choice and offers insights into the strategies that can transform despair into opportunities for learning, growing and achievement."--BOOK JACKET ER -
