Timothy I. Thomas Announces Release of New Book, Resolving Conflict: Overcoming Destructive Behaviors in the Workplace
Downingtown, PA, February 25, 2009 — Makarios Consulting, LLC, a premier provider of custom leadership development and executive coaching programs, announced the launch of a new book on conflict management entitled Resolving Conflict: Overcoming Destructive Behaviors in the Workplace. Resolving Conflict is authored by the president of Makarios, Timothy I. Thomas, and provides strategies for conflict resolution that executives, managers, and supervisors can put into immediate practice.
“Conflict in the workplace engenders severe stress, saps employee motivation, and decreases productivity,” Thomas explains. “Conflict management is an essential skill for all business leaders. Like all skills, conflict management is not typically innate: it must be learned. That is the purpose of the book Resolving Conflict. My goal is to help leaders learn the skills they need to manage conflict in the workplace effectively. This book isn’t about abstruse theory: it’s about practical strategies for conflict resolution that net real results.”
Resolving Conflict: Overcoming Destructive Behaviors in the Workplace is available as an immediately downloadable ebook for $21.95 at www.MakariosConsulting.com. The strategies for conflict resolution discussed in the book include a review of five unique modes of managing conflict plus a full explanation of the four-step VOMP model of conflict management. Resolving Conflict is the second book in our Dynamic Solutions Series, following Creating All-Star Performers: The Power of Effective Feedback,” reports Thomas. “Both books serve as key resources for individuals in all levels of management. They teach rubber-meets-the-road leadership skills that can transform and energize the workplace. We don’t subscribe to the latest trends and fads: the steps for providing reinforcing and redirecting feedback in Creating All-Star Performers, and the strategies for conflict resolution contained in Resolving Conflict, are proven and time-tested. Put simply, they work.”
