Power phrases for dealing with workplace conflict Karin Hurt - CEO, Let’s Grow Leaders As a CEO and President of Let’s Grow Leaders, Karin Hurt is known for practical tools, highly interactive keynotes, and leadership development programs that stick. She is an award-winning author of five books. Karin Hurt and her partner, David Dye, surveyed over 5000 full time workers in over 45 countries and in all 50 US states about conflict in the workplace. It turns out conflict is becoming more of an issue everywhere you go. They wrote POWERFUL PHRASES FOR DEALING WITH WORKPLACE CONFLICT to help all employees (and their managers) rebuild trust, collaboration, and ultimately enjoy more influence at work. 70% of participants in their survey report the same or more conflict over the last few years. Only 30% reported less conflict - and nearly half of those say it’s because they (or the people they were in conflict with) changed jobs, or they’re working remotely.
