Applying leadership skills in conflict management. Synopsis of the AAP program presentation at the 49th annual assembly of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Orlando, Florida, October 1987.
This brief paper has reviewed a few of the basic concepts related to the understanding of leadership styles. The unavoidable nature of conflict in organizations has been described. One of the best ways a person can make conflict more manageable is to become increasingly aware of his or her own fundamental leadership style as well as that of others. Without such an effort, people run the risk of moving apart rather than toward a closer working relationship. Regardless of whether an organization is a rehabilitation team, a university faculty or any other group in society, improvements in organizational functioning cannot be made without an awareness of conditions that create conflict.
