Non Member Price: FREE

Description:

As construction industry managers and leaders, we all know there are conversations and personalities that we tend to avoid in the workplace. We also know this is a strategy that rarely leads to excellence. What if there was a better way to manage difficult conversations that took some of the emotion out of the discussion?

This webinar will address these points and enable you to:

• Discover strategies and tactics for how to work with three difficult personalities: the Know-It-Alls, the Dictators, and the Complainers.
• Learn how to use behavioral data to proactively defuse difficult conversations before they begin.
• Walk away with a “Difficult Conversations Checklist” that gives you the steps to make difficult conversations less difficult and more useful.
• Walk away with your Predictive Index® Behavioral Profile (3-page report).
