Leadership –
Progress begins with difference. We need to recognize that conflict is inevitable.
Eight ideas to increase your success in dealing with workplace conflict include:
- Allow sufficient time to resolve issues. Do not add undue stress by being in a crunch for decisions.
- Confirm common ground/common goals.
- Focus on the words that are being said, rather than the delivery style, facial expression or the tone of voice.
- Remain unemotional, problem-solving oriented.
- Repeat in your own words, their position to seek confirmation and to demonstrate your understanding. Get their agreement.
- Ask the other person to paraphrase to demonstrate their understanding of your position.
- Work at negotiating differences. Ask “What would it take to…?”
- Isolate points of disagreement and then brainstorm to develop possible alternatives for each point.
