Interpersonal conflicts are a part of life. Dealing with them effectively is a part of leadership. Bill Starnes reviews practical steps that can help mitigate confrontations as they arise.
Even in the Movenpick's artificial oasis, no one has lost sight of the conflicts and turmoil transforming the Middle East outside. Within MELA, at least, harmony reigns. Nancy McCandlish and Yasser find common ground discussing Bill's session.
Learning and sharing remain watchwords of the workshop. Here, Andrew shares with Hania the secret of properly knotting a tie.
Divergent opinions can not always be reconciled. Subtle non-verbal cues by Brice and Lama indicate that they have agreed to disagree.
