Becoming Conflict Constructive

About the Book

Not a book about managing conflict. A book about using it.

Most books about conflict teach you how to manage it. This is not that book.

Becoming Conflict Constructive starts from a different premise: that conflict is not a problem to be managed but a signal to be understood. That the patterns showing up in your leadership, your relationships, and your organization didn't originate there. And that the most important skill you can develop — as a leader, a partner, a human being — is not the ability to resolve conflict, but the capacity to use it.

Drawing on fifteen years of work — from the Lebanese prison system to FEMA disaster operations and into the leadership teams of federal agencies and Fortune 500 companies including Boeing, Amazon, and Gilead — Michelle Arbid offers a framework for making conflict the most productive and transformative force in your life.
