Conflict Management for CPAs
CPAs, by nature, work alongside others in a practice to accomplish the services required by their clients. Just like any other career field, there are times when conflict arises in the workplace that needs to be dealt with in a civil, respectful, and safe manner. Conflict Management in a Practice is a course that will provide an overview of conflict that can occur within a CPAs practice. This course will identify the issues that lead to conflicts between office team members. This course will also define techniques that can be used to resolve conflicts. Being able to correctly identify conflict before it arises may present an opportunity to diffuse the conflict altogether. This shows the importance of learning the techniques that will lessen conflict and turn these issues into positives for the practice.
