Identify the strategies the manager could use to resolve the conflict between Emma and Isabella to create a supportive climate again.

/in /by

Read the following scenario:
Emma and Isabella attend the front office at an urgent care facility. They have worked together for over 5 years and enjoy collaborating on projects. As their manager, you have asked them to work together to create a team training on effective communication in the workplace.

Emma feels that it is important to provide hands-on learning (e.g., role play) while Isabella feels that a lecture is the most appropriate format for this team. Emma defends her point by saying that her sister has been a teacher for 10 years, and she has proven that hands-on learning increases the engagement and likelihood of remembering the training material.

Isabella feels that Emma does not account for her 10 years of experience in the medical office and voices her disgust with Emma and her lack of appreciation for her experience. Isabella storms off and leaves Emma to finish the work.

Emma approaches the manager and complains that she has been left to complete the training because Isabella refuses to talk or work with her.

Write a 500- to 750-word paper that discusses how you would handle the situation. Complete the following in your paper:

Describe the type of conflict illustrated in the scenario.
Identify the strategies the manager could use to resolve the conflict between Emma and Isabella to create a supportive climate again.
Explain how the defensive climate created by the conflict will affect the workplace relationship between Emma and Isabella.

In this Assignment, you will write three paragraphs describing effective persuasive communication in personal, professional, and academic contexts. In each of the three paragraphs, include at least one concrete example of effective persuasive writing that you have encountered or written yourself to illustrate your points, and consider issues like audience, speaker, text, purpose, and context. You can also include information on tone, style, formality, voice, correctness, evidence, and word choice as you develop your responses to the prompts below.

In the second paragraph, describe an example of effective persuasive communication in professional contexts. Consider your own field of study and the expectations for writing effectively in that field and explain how that communication example illustrates the expectations for professional persuasive communication.
