Gestire il conflitto (POK)

Offered by Politecnico di Milano,
Gestire il conflitto (POK)

Come riconoscere un conflitto? Come gestirlo al meglio? Che ruolo ha la tua personalità? In questo corso potrai trovare alcune risposte a questi interrogativi.
How can we recognize a conflict? How can we manage it the best possible way? What is the role of your personality? In this course you will be able to find a few answers to these questions.

In qualsiasi contesto sociale, i conflitti, oltre ad essere inevitabili, sono anche indispensabili per cogliere le potenzialità della diversità e per crescere come persona. Imparare ad affrontarli in modo costruttivo è fondamentale. Nella realtà però connotiamo la parola ‘conflitto’ negativamente e spesso ciò ci fa reagire in modo disfunzionale.

Nel privato spesso ci viene più facile esprimere il nostro dissenso in una discussione o parlare dei nostri bisogni e sentimenti feriti.
Però più ci sentiamo intimi con la controparte (ad es. partner, familiare o amico), più abbiamo la sensazione che lui/lei potrà capire, e perdonare, se ci lasciamo andare emotivamente.
Nel mondo professionale quando ci troviamo in mezzo ad un conflitto ci sentiamo più frenati ad esprimere i nostri bisogni o sentimenti apertamente, siamo più inclini a nascondere le difficoltà, finché il conflitto esplode in modo del tutto inaspettato per la controparte. Avere completo controllo emotivo spesso viene visto come un approccio professionale ideale; ‘controllo emotivo’ però non deve implicare una negazione del mondo emotivo.
I conflitti nel mondo privato e nel mondo professionale hanno le stesse caratteristiche generali. Ciò che cambia è la nostra modalità nell'affrontarli, in funzione del contesto, delle situazioni e degli interlocutori.
Inside any social contest, conflicts, other than being inevitable, are also indispensable to collect the potentiality of diversity and to grow as a person. It is fundamental to learn how to face conflicts in a constructive way. In reality the connotation of the word “conflict” is negative and often we react in a disfunctional way.
The course is divided into 4 weeks, subdivided into modules. The modules include various lessons, made up by textual parts, video, quizzes and individual exercises and personal reflection. We suggest you to follow the learning path in a linear way, but you can move freely within the content, if you value it to be useful for the purposes of your learning.
New editions will be released periodically.
