This white paper—the 7th white paper in the IREM leadership series—will help you understand some the most important and valuable skills that any leader should have when it comes to coaching and helping others develop their skills. You will learn how to:

The IREM Job Analysis identifies conflict management as one of the critical leadership competencies required of property and asset managers. One of the common myths is that conflict is inherently bad and should be minimized or avoided at all costs. On the contrary, properly managed conflict can lead to greater innovation, performance, and even improved cohesion within a team—creating an environment for open and honest discussions. Of course, if it’s not managed properly, conflict can also have the opposite results.
One of the best tactics for managing conflict is known as mental jiujitsu—avoid pitting your strength against your opponent’s directly; instead, use your skill to step aside and turn their strength to your ends. In other words, absorb the energy of your opponent and use it to manage their behavior.
So how do you do that? If pushed, do not push back:
