Conflict without Casualties: A Field Guide for Compassionate Accountability® by Nate Regier, PhD

A Constant Tug of War

Life and work can seem like a constant tug of war, with people struggling against each other or with themselves to get what they want, causing homes, communities, relationships and entire organizations to unravel. In Conflict without Casualties: A Field Guide for Compassionate Accountability, clinical psychologist and transformative communication training expert Dr. Nate Regier tells us it doesn’t have to be that way. The concepts and tools he shares can turn conflict into a partner for positive change.

Provocative, illuminating, and endlessly informative, Conflict without Casualties will transform both the way you see and feel about other people and the way you approach conflict and accountability. In the book, Regier brings us the collective intelligence of Next Element®, the firm he co-founded that serves, advises, trains and certifies high-value change agents internationally.­ This book embodies the lessons of Leading out of Drama,® Next Element’s suite of training and certification tools. In true field guide fashion, it becomes the central reference point for Next Element’s work across the world.

Embrace Conflict. Transform Your Life.

You can’t avoid conflict, but you can control how you approach it. Conflict without Casualties holds the power to change the dynamic at work. Your personal relationships will never look the same. Regier invites us to replace the unrealistic, sometimes punishing, even crushing demands we exact on both our colleagues and loved ones with openness, resourcefulness and persistence.

I highly recommend you invest in his book, especially if you'd like to learn how to approach conflict in a creative way. Nate presents a brilliant, practical model that's unlike any other you might have studied.

Our management team of eight department heads read the book and convened a discussion of what we learned. Not only did learning about the drama triangle radically change our understanding of conflicts in our company, we were able to devise three strong actions to change our priorities in meetings and training. Our company is proud to be founded on five core values like stewardship and quality, but we realized that missing “compassionate accountability” as a core value was holding us back from safely and quickly responding to challenges. Thank you to Nate and the Next Element team for providing such changeful and clear solutions to improve our company culture.

Nate Regier takes the old idea that creativity is the hidden purpose behind conflict and opposition in this world and applies it to many practical and important areas of human endeavor. His work with compassionate engagement can help sustain relationships of all kinds.
