Making Things Right at Work by Gary Chapman, Jennifer Thomas and Paul White

Making Things Right at Work

Increase Teamwork, Resolve Conflict, and Build Trust

Conflict Happens. What You Do Next Matters.

Unaddressed conflict doesn’t stay small. Left alone, it chips away at trust, makes people second-guess their value, and quietly wears a team down. If that sounds familiar, you don’t need platitudes — you need a clear way forward.

Making Things Right at Work gives you practical steps to understand where conflict comes from, repair what’s broken, and rebuild trust — one honest conversation at a time.
