Can't We All Just Get Along?
Studies have shown that the negative effects of workplace conflict can reduce team productivity by as much as 50 percent. Most people would agree that in our increasingly competitive global marketplace, anything that gets in the way of productivity is a serious issue. Conflict in and of itself is not a problem. Rather, it is the negative byproducts of unresolved and mismanaged conflict that are the problem. Unresolved interpersonal conflict can escalate and manifest itself in such ugly behaviors as backstabbing, gossiping, withholding information, judging, and undermining. This article looks at the most common cause of conflict and offers advice on how to respond when you find yourself in a conflict situation.

Selling Effectively - The Buyer Blending System
Have you ever tried to sell a client on your property and had difficulty establishing a rapport? Have you ever emphasized something you thought important and your client responded blankly? Do you find some clients make slower (or faster) decisions than you think appropriate? Answering yes to any of these questions means that you have run across a client whose buying style is different from your selling style. To be more successful you need to learn to adapt your selling style to fit your client's buying style. By "reading" your client's behavioral style and appealing to that person in his or her terms, you can actually increase your sales dramatically.
Here's a great ROI
The business owner or executive who wants to work less and earn more must gain the knowledge of the leadership style to use to develop people and teams to be autonomous. That means that people need to be able to work together and solve problems on their own. And the problems that are the hardest for people to solve on their own are communication problems and conflict. This is the biggest impediment to teamwork. Thus coaching for a leader is necessary to incorporate an organizational strategy that will transform an organization over time from a control style of management to a participative style.

Managing Your Style
Many of us have taken the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and also the DiSC Profile. We have sat in seminars or corporate training sessions designed to help us understand our "style" and how our "type" relates to the rest of the world. These insights are helpful at understanding ourselves and how we can improve relations with other people. I believe style needs to be considered more as a dynamic process - not static. For that we should think about the possibility of actively managing our style.

Managerial Styles
Managerial styles vary from individual to individual in a work environment. Really it is an individual's choice to decide what sort of management style they choose to adopt. Anyone who says otherwise is really just copping out and making excuses for laziness. This might sound harsh, but it has been said by more than one manager that "this is my style, it's just how I am" and no adjustments have ever been made to improve on that style. Here are some management styles that might help you to better understand and improve your own.

Using Influence to Gain Commitment: Are Men and Women Really That Different?
Do men and women lead differently in the workplace? Based on much of the research, the short answer is “yes.” Although the differences often align with the stereotype that women lead with a more interpersonal style and men with a more task-oriented style, it appears that gender does play a role in leadership style and preferences.

Do you have difficult clients or are they just different?
Style adaptability is where a person can read another person’s preferred communication style and adjusts their own communication style to that of the other person, thus making shared communication and understanding easier. It is imperative to the principle of exchange and critical to any sales role, yet it is often one of the most poorly executed skills. Time after time we come across teams of sales people who have no conscious idea about how to adapt their style to that of another. Instead when they come across differences, communication usually breaks down and they will speak about the other using derogatory terms such as calling them an idiot, or moron, etc. Sound familiar?
