Resolving Conflicts

Principle of conflict resolution 
  • everyone is right in their eyes 
  • avoid false dichotomies (Black or white) 
  • people generally present a position , but rarely 
  • that is the issue, the person resolving issue need to understand the real issue by using listening skills
  • Dont dig in, that is dont try to explain why you think you are right, i am right because it leads to escalations, look for sound of argument 
  • dont use exagerated statement - you always 
  • seek unity of purpose 
  • focus on where we are going 
  • its not person but process -- how can we make sure
  • such conflicts do not appear in future example RACI Framework
  • look for win wins mutual benefits 
  • long term -- develop a culture where people listen to each other

When it comes to creating resolving conflicts a few of these communication skills come in Handy. 

  • Empathy , when you empathise with people it allows them to move over things , otherwise you will hear people saying the same things in many conversations 
  • Acknowlegement - When listening to someone acknowlegement like nodding , saying yes motivates the speaker, absense of these kinds of motivation leads to demotivation 
  • Reflecting or Rephrasing -- Listening is more than Hearing, we need to understand what the other person is feeling and rephrase it. Reflecting is showing the other person mirror.  This is what i think you said 
  • Brainstorming - Is allowing people to come up with ideas without Judging. Note that a idea might not be good but it might lead someone to come up with better idea on those lines


Framewok for conflict resolution

  • express empathy 
  • seek alternatives 
  • Agree on criteria for solution 
  • Combine and create
