Workplace conflict is inevitable. When it happens, how can you get back on track?
Like all relationships, the ones we have at work are subject to stresses—maybe even fractures that can really take a toll on the workplace. Productivity is lost. Time is wasted. Tension mounts. Cooperation is reduced. And the workplace becomes toxic. What's the solution?
In Making Things Right at Work, Dr. Gary Chapman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 5 Love Languages®, is joined by business consultants Dr. Jennifer Thomas and Dr. Paul White to offer the strategies you need to restore harmony at work. You'll learn:
Don't let broken relationships taint your work environment. Take the needed steps to make things right . . . not tomorrow, but today. The success of your career depends on it!

In order to have a healthy, thriving organization, the people within the organization must be aligned and thriving. Nothing breeds inefficiency and counterproductive behavior more than unhealthy, unresolved conflict. When conflict occurs—wherever it occurs—what does it look like to live out our core belief that people matter? I believe this is one of the most important conversations we should be having right now, not just at work, but in every area of our lives. This invaluable book provides the practical insight and strategies to not only understand conflict, but to navigate it well. It belongs in the hands of every leader I know!
