There are proven methods to not only survive, but to thrive through life's contests. The Way of Conflict and Worst Enemy, Best Teacher integrates a wealth of conflict resolution techniques found throughout the world's cultural traditions with brain research, management science and systems theory findings. The contained philosophy teaches individuals how to creatively and confidently engage a dispute until the participants develop a win/win solution.
The Way of Conflict
offers a framework that explains how conflict works and how we can work
through it. It employs the four natural elements (Earth, Water, Fire
and Air) as a binding cross-cultural metaphor and provides
self-assessment tests to identify innate conflict skills and
difficulties. With summaries, descriptive graphics and illustrative
folk tales, The Way of Conflict allows leaders to quickly
assess their "team," be it an organization, family or community,
determine its needs and develop an appropriate resolution strategy.
Worst Enemy, Best Teacher
provides practical skills to not only cope with pesky adversaries, but
to use their presence to improve ourselves. We learn how to turn
conflict into opportunity and troublesome opponents into valuable
teachers. Identify your opponent type, the sticking points that hold
you back and simple techniques to move beyond a dispute and those
people who drive you crazy.
