Larger Image   Getting to Resolution Turning Conflict into Collaboration Author's name: Stewart Levine IB.com Catalog Number: 302 Description: Our current models for ending conflict don’t really work. They waste incredible amounts of time, money, and energy and take an enormous emotional toll on participants. The parties remain embittered, relationships are destroyed, and often the conflict just reappears later in a different form. Stewart Levine offers a revolutionary alternative approach that goes beyond compromise and capitulation to provide a satisfactory resolution for everyone involved. Levine rejects the adversarial legal model. Resolution, he shows, provides relief and completeness for both sides. No one goes away unhappy. Effective resolution stops anger and resentment cold, drastically cutting the emotional cost and allowing both sides to return to productive, satisfying, functional relationships. Getting to Resolution outlines the ten principles underlying this new approach—what Levine calls “resolutionary thinking. Levine provides a detailed seven-step process for using this new mindset to resolve conflicts in a way that fosters dignity and integrity, optimizes resources, and allows all concerns to be voiced, honored, and woven into the resolution. Levine's model has a thirty-five-year track record. It has been developed, implemented, tested, and proven in business, personal, and governmental contexts. Getting to Resolution will enable readers to shift from thinking about problems, fighting, and breakdowns to thinking about collaboration, engagement, learning, creativity, and the opportunity for creating enduring value.

Excerpts

Getting to Resolution "I have specific goals for this book: 1. Change your thinking about conflict. 2. Provide a conversational model for agreement and resolution that enables you to develop the craft of helping people create sustainable collaborations. 3. Inspire you to develop a new perspective toward conflict. 4. Steward a mind-set of resolution. 5. Foster a culture based on principles and practices of resolution and agreement. 6. Enable you to take personal responsibility for dealing with the opportunity of conflict, diversity and disagreement." "This book is based on four premises: 1. Conflict is expensive in many ways. 2. Efficient conflict resolution requires a new paradigm of collaboration grounded on ten principles. 3. Efficient conflict resolution requires using a new systematic approach - a model that is applied consistently and that reinforces the new paradigm through routine use. 4. The resolution of conflict using the model returns you to productive living and functional relationships."

I have found Getting to Resolution to be a breath of fresh air. Levine's model really works, it's practical, well thought out, and obviously based on real world experience.

I can't recommend it strongly enough." -Dr. Larry Richard ---- "Stewart Levine, lawyer and management consultant, has a unique view on resolving conflict. He spent 12 years settling conflict in court, and has spent the last 19 years teaching business people a less costly, more collaborative way to resolve conflict.

In Getting To Resolution, Levine has outlined a step-by-step plan for turning conflict into collaboration." -Louise McCauley
