Conflict Resolution

Conflict is a natural byproduct of progress. Managed well it can result in creative solutions and alignment; left unmanaged it can lead to disengagement and simmering tensions. We advise CEOs and boards on strategies to ensure a healthy board/staff culture and can serve as a facilitator or mediator to help your organization navigate areas of disagreement.

Internal board conflicts

The hallmarks of a healthy organizational culture include trust, teamwork, candor, and constructive conflict.

We can help you assess your board’s behaviors and move toward a culture of shared values, collaboration, and trust.

Negotiation and mediation services

Conflict can occur within the board, between board and staff members, or between the organization and other entities. We’ll work with your organization to develop a conflict mitigation and resolution strategy, which may include negotiation or mediation.
