    About this ebook

    The definitive DIY guide to solving problems and getting back in the groove. Don't let disagreements break up your band! Mishandled, conflict can easily escalate -- but managed well it can be a powerful force for creativity. You'll learn concrete, essential conflict resolution skills including:
    - how to recognize and interpret four warning signs of conflict
    - how to evaluate a conflict situation to know when to get help
    - how to interpret feelings, needs and strategies in conflict situations
    - how to prevent and resolve conflict by applying two Guiding Principles
    - how to follow a step-by-step path to successful conflict resolution
    ...and much more.

    Includes worksheets and other resources to help you navigate any conflict successfully.

    "The band is back! Conflict resolution triumphs again... highly recommended." -- Steven J. Haines, Director, Miles Davis Jazz Studies, University North Carolina Greensboro.

    "Conflict is part of being human and by its very nature is uncomfortable. But as this timely book shows, conflict needn't be fatal. It can be worked on and through. Conflict Resolution for Musicians is a positive, useful and much needed addition to our tool kit for living -- as music lovers, music makers, and human beings. Highly recommended!" -- Sally-Anne Gross, Artist Manager; Music Business Consultant; Programme, Director, MA Music Business Management, University of Westminster.
