Choose to Defuse: Conflict Resolution in the Heat of Battle

“Conflict shapes all organizations… whether it’s positive or negative is up to you.”

Contrary to popular belief, conflict doesn’t have to be negative. In fact, when properly managed healthy conflict can lead to new ideas, new opportunities and a healthier work environment. In Choose to Defuse, Dr. Lavon Gray explores principles learned on the athletic field and transfers them to the workplace, focusing on how to identify battles worth fighting, defuse conflict and restore peace in the heat of battle.
