Trip leaders often make decisions in the field, sometimes in critical situations. In this session, we will explore some of the common decisions leaders must make such as turning back or continuing on, managing disputes, and responding to a crisis. Topics will include a review of decision-making models, tips for handling interpersonal conflict, and an introduction to de-escalation strategies. This will be an interactive session with opportunities for group discussion, breakout sessions, and several scenarios.
