Last week, we introduced the theme of this month's short episodes: conflict. The rest of this month, we'll look at the 4-C model I like to use for effective conflict management. The four C's are Communication, Curiosity, Concern, and Commitment. 

Individuals willing to work through conflict will have more success when they use this model.

Our tips today are:
1 - Be a good listener
2 - Avoid interrupting at all costs
3 - Paraphrase to ensure understanding

Our goal is to connect you to leaders and leadership principles from all sectors.

2 - Allow for different perspectives

Join Charles and Josh as we discuss graduate degrees and leadership developent. We're both fans of higher education, but they are certainly not the only way to develop leadership skills. We talk about how graduate degrees can complement development as a leader, yet they are not necessarily a shortcut to experience.

The inspiration for this episode was the book "Managers not MBAs" by Henry Mintzberg.
