CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the desire to reach a wider audience and help more people understand the practice and purpose of creative conflict management, pastor and author Winston A. Richards, D.Min., launches a new press campaign for "In Pursuit of Creative Conflict Management: An Overview" (published by Xlibris in July 2019).
This book gives a concise, sensible and simple look at conflict that offers a theological and practical rationale for coping with it. It offers a cursory glimpse at the nature of man that often influences one's approach in facing conflict. It further reflects on the effects of reconciliation, resolution, restitution and forgiveness in the arena of dealing with conflict in the workplace and the church. It calls all leaders to reflect on their personal power base, ego, self-esteem and defensive tools as they respond to conflicts.
"Learning how to manage conflicts creatively will decrease the odds for a nonproductive escalation of morale. Remember, it is not the absence of conflict that is the ideal, but the ability to handle and cope with conflict when it appears," Richards says. "Creative conflict management in the body is therefore contingent upon the health of its members."
"In Pursuit of Creative Conflict Management: An Overview" aims to provide information for both clergy and laity who serve the church in various offices while simultaneously meeting conflicts. It also hopes to empower readers to confidently face the challenges of differences in their interactions resulting in collaborative coworkers as well as change church leaders into creative conflict management practitioners who understand the role of the church in leading the saint into being a cooperative member of the assembly of the reconciled.
