Consensus Building - $65.00
Develop mentoring skills to take a positive approach, build confidence, and recognize strengths in your mentoring role.
Introduction and Overview
Consensus building (also called collaborative problem solving or collaboration) is essentially mediation of a conflict which involves many parties. Opinions of individuals will inevitably differ and may end up deadlocked, compromising the forward progress. So what do you do? Throw up your hands? Yell at the most difficult person? Call a break? I'm sure we have all felt like doing all of these things (at the same time!), but really there is a better way. It's called consensus building, and it is needed to help determine the relative importance of topics, issues, or problems. Consensus is a technique that allows everyone to equally play an active role in determining the final decision. This module will discuss where consensus building can be used and the major steps involved in consensus building.
