Course Overview:
Disagreements, differences of opinion and conflicting perspectives on key issues inevitably arise in any context where people are working together.
Research has shown that workplace conflicts can become highly destructive. Negative emotions may be stirred up, poisoning team morale, creating stress and destroying relationships.
Conflict may emerge between managers and their staff, between team members or departments.
Conflict may be expressed openly, but it may also be hidden, in the form of irritation, resentment, loss of morale and lack of commitment. Hidden conflict is easy to miss and therefore can be particularly damaging.
Ultimately, this is likely to have an adverse effect on team and company performance, costing time and money.
It is therefore vital to manage conflict constructively.

The Book Club book
Robert Harris, the master of innovative historical fiction, introduces us to the world of Roman politics with his portrayal of the rise of Marcus Cicero, a young Roman senator. The world of intrigue and electoral corruption is both remarkably similar to our own, while also being very different. 
The story of Cicero's rise is told through Tiro, Cicero's secretary and slave who invented shorthand and wrote numerous books, including a celebrated biography of the great orator, which was lost in the dark ages. Imperium is therefore the re-creation of Tiro's missing masterpiece, telling the first part of the story of Cicero alongside Pompey, Caesar, Crassus, and the many other significant Romans.

 Geoff says:
"This is the first book of the "Cicero trilogy" - a gripping read, full of drama and suspense and a fascinating portrayal of life in Rome"

The Book Club book
Elif Shafak is a British Turkish novelist. There Are Rivers in the Sky is a rich, enchanting novel focusing on three characters, in three different times and places, all somehow touched by the Mesopotamian poem, The Epic of Gilgamesh. As well as a gripping story it is also a story of the preciousness of water - the characters live along the banks of the River Tigris and the River Thames in London.
In 1840 London, Arthur is born next to the unpleasant, polluted River Thames. Arthur has a remarkable memory, which will help him to escape poverty, by joining a book publishers. And one book sparks his interest: Nineveh and Its Remains.

In 2014 Turkey, Narin, a ten-year-old Yazidi girl, is going deaf. Consequently, her grandmother wants to travel to the family’s ancestral lands along the Tigris in Iraq to baptize her in a special temple. But how to cope to the rising presence of ISIS in the area?

In 2018 London, Zaleekah, a newly divorced hydrologist, escapes from her husband by moving into a houseboat on the Thames. Things are looking bleak for her, until a strange book about her homeland changes everything.
