Soft Skill Tip of the Month
Work through Conflict

It's not uncommon for there to be conflict in the workplace, but how you work through it is what matters. When conflict arises, think of alternate ways to resolve it so you can continue your relationship with coworkers, learn from each other and continue to be productive as teammates. All members of the organization benefit from a collaborative work environment, and you can display your abilities as a team player and capabilities as a leader.
