The Exchange: A Bold and Proven Approach to Resolving Workplace Conflict

Autor Steven Dinkin, Barbara Filner, Lisa Maxwell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 apr 2011

Notăm cu interes expertiza autorilor Steven Dinkin, Barbara Filner și Lisa Maxwell, a căror autoritate este susținută de peste un sfert de secol de activitate în cadrul National Conflict Resolution Center. The Exchange nu este o simplă colecție de teorii, ci rezultatul aplicării riguroase a unui model de rezoluție testat în mii de cazuri reale. Remarcăm faptul că această lucrare se adresează direct managerilor care pierd aproape jumătate din timpul de lucru mediind dispute, oferindu-le o metodologie clară pentru a recupera productivitatea pierdută. Suntem de părere că rigoarea procesului în patru etape propus aici transformă gestionarea conflictelor dintr-o artă subiectivă într-o competență managerială precisă. Cititorul care a aplicat deja exercițiile din The Big Book of Conflict Resolution Games de Mary Scannell va găsi în The Exchange cadrul structural necesar pentru a trece de la activități de comunicare la o intervenție formală și eficientă în situații de criză. Cartea este organizată progresiv, începând cu etapa de pregătire și desfășurarea întâlnirilor private, culminând cu sesiunea comună de problem-solving. Această structură logică asigură faptul că nicio problemă nu este abordată fără o bază de siguranță psihologică prealabilă. De asemenea, lucrarea include perspective esențiale despre cultură și diversitate, elemente care adesea complică dinamica disputelor în organizațiile moderne, oferind instrumente pentru medierea în contexte de restructurare sau fuziune.

Notă biografică

Barbara Filner has been the director of training for NCRC since 1984. She has a master’s degree in teaching from Indiana University and has worked as a teacher, a labor union official, and an analyst in local and state government. She has designed and conducted workshops on mediation and conflict resolution in the workplace in both the United States and Europe. She has lived in Pakistan, India, and Egypt, and thus brings a multicultural perspective to this book. She has also co-written two books about culture and conflict, Conflict Resolution Across Cultures (Diversity Resources) and Meditation Across Cultures (Amherst Educational Publishing).
Steven P. Dinkin is president of NCRC. He received his law degree from George Washington University, where he taught a mediation clinic as an adjunct law professor. He has also taught mediation courses in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. For several years with the Center for Dispute Settlement in Washington, DC, Steve served as an employment and workplace mediator for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other federal agencies. In 2003 he moved to San Diego to lead NCRC. His experience managing a talented and opinionated staff has contributed to the realism of this book.
Lisa Maxwell has traveled all over the world as a senior trainer for NCRC, a position she has held for almost 20 years. She has trained people in The Exchange, and in mediation in general, in Mexico and other Latin American countries, as well as in Latino communities in the United States. Lisa has a master’s degree in education from San Diego State University and has developed curricula and taught courses at the high school and university levels. Lisa has worked with businesses, with the military, and with nonprofit organizations on finding creative and effective ways to manage conflicts.

If you don’t learn how to resolve conflict in your workplace, your organization can never thrive. What Dinkin, Filner, and Maxwell have to teach us is worth studying and implementing. It could be the difference between having a so-so organization and a great one.

Transforming society to be more collaborative, more inclusive and more solutions focused requires a methodology that works. That methodology is The Exchange.
—Michael M. Crow, President, Arizona State University
The Exchange was a highly professional, interactive, engaging and effective training that provided us all with many new techniques in problem-solving and conflict resolution.

—Evan Burkett, Chief Human Resource Officer, Sanford Health, the largest rural healthcare system in the United States
Conflict is inherent for any group of people striving to create a result with limited resources. The Exchange helps people with a way to facilitate mutual understanding and common goals in order to move to a better place.

Descriere

Studies indicate that on average, managers and supervisors spend a little more than forty percent of their time resolving workplace conflicts. All this time adds up to a lot of headaches, a hit to morale, and a significant loss in productivity. The Exchange: A Bold and Proven Approach to Resolving Workplace Conflict is for every director, manager, and supervisor who is tired of using trial and error to put out fires. Supplying readers with proven tools for resolving emotionally charged disputes, this go-to-guide details a four-stage process derived from the conflict resolution model used for more than 25 years at the National Conflict Resolution Center. Designed specifically for the workplace, this highly structured process facilitates the discussion of intense emotional issues so you can learn to preempt and de-escalate disputes before they become volatile. Whether your company is restructuring, downsizing, or merging—or simply needs helpful techniques for use in meetings with angry, disruptive, and disputing employees—The Exchange is for you!
