The rapid rate of change in the workplace and among families often
leads to conflict and confrontation which can undermine
productivity and poison relationships. The Joy of Conflict
Resolution helps readers understand conflict and why it arises
through the lens of the "drama triangle" of victims, villains and
heroes. In an accessible, engaging and lighthearted style that uses
stories and humor to explore potentially emotionally charged
situations, it provides proven and practical skills to move beyond
confrontation to resolve conflicts collaboratively. In over 13
years as a trainer, facilitator and mediator, Gary Harper has
taught thousands of people in both the public and private sectors
to successfully manage conflict. He also teaches for the Centre for
Conflict Resolution at the Justice Institute in Vancouver, BC.
