BEP 94 – İletişim: Çatışmayı Çözme (1)
People do not always get along, so dealing with conflict is part of any job. And as often as not, work disagreements get resolved as much as in informal discussions in the hallway, as they do in the conference room. Bu yüzden, in this two-part series on resolving conflict, we’ll be studying useful language for discussing and resolving disagreements.

dinlemede, Elegant is a company that designs and manufactures bathroom fixtures – sinks, toilets, ve bunun gibi. Ben has recently joined Elegant as a training specialist.
