Ever felt trapped when dealing with conflict? Or do you blow up and lose all senses? It is only natural to go straight to our basic fight-or-flight instincts in moments like these. But how can we handle it effectively?

George Kohlrieser is a former hostage negotiator, an organisational and clinical psychologist and professor of leadership at IMD. His award-winning book Hostage at the Table: How Leaders Can Overcome Conflict, Influence Others and Raise Performance talks about how openly facing conflict can help us deal with business challenges as a leader.
