From Conflict to Convergence: Coming Together to Solve Tough Problems
From Conflict to Convergence: Coming Together to Solve Tough Problems delivers an incisive, hands-on guide to de-escalating conflict and constructively engaging with others to find better solutions to problems. Full of real-life stories and examples, this book provides tried and tested strategies to help a wide array of people negotiate and navigate seemingly intractable conflicts. You’ll learn how to find “higher ground” or “mutual gain” solutions that meet the needs of even conflicting groups and people, which in turn can set the stage for longer term cooperation. The book’s primary goal is to inspire and equip people to be effective collaborative problem-solvers and leaders.
Perfect for business and organizational leaders, board members, community and religious leaders, public servants, educators, mediators, and anyone else looking to find, or help others find, common ground with people with differing views and perspectives, From Conflict to Convergence also speaks to concerned citizens looking for concrete pathways to lessen troubling divides in their workplaces, their communities, and society at large. From Conflict to Convergence is being touted as a must-read resource for an increasingly combative and conflicted world.
