How to Create a Drama Free Workplace

Workplace drama wears people down. It shows up as constant gossip, personality clashes, aggressive, passive or passive-aggressive behavior, meetings dominated by a few voices, and colleagues who feel stressed and overworked.

This 90-minute webinar on how to create a drama-free workplace gives you a 5-step process for removing unproductive drama and strategies for redirecting it. You'll learn a model of the three roles people play to create drama and how to respond to each, along with specific skills for handling aggression, passivity and passive-aggressive words or actions.
