This comprehensive guide uses People Models to understand and resolve conflicts across multiple organizational levels. Beginning with inter-organizational conflicts such as those seen in mergers and acquisitions, the book emphasizes the relational aspect over economic rationale. It introduces a People Model framework that classifies relationship types and applies it to structural and team conflicts, utilizing the MBTI and the Schutz model respectively. Further chapters delve into interpersonal conflict via Gestalt psychology, inner conflict using Carl Jung’s theories, and life conflict examining personal life choices. The book concludes with real-world applications of these models through the analysis of figures like Donald Trump and Tony Blair. A unique People Procedure is provided throughout, offering a structured approach to diagnosing and resolving conflict compared to traditional business procedures.
