Recommendation

Mediator Louisa Weinstein offers seven principles you can apply to confront and resolve any conflict. To deal with a conflict, she suggests, move beyond your feelings of anxiety. Don't let a conflict escalate; instead, try to diagnose the reasons behind it so you can help resolve it. How you use language can either accentuate a conflict or defuse it by using “deep or expansive listening.” Take a moment to consider people’s real meanings and to go beyond their immediate words so you can focus on the topics they’re avoiding. Much of Weinstein’s advice revolves around bypassing your initial defensive reflexes. Human resource practitioners and budding mediators, in particular, will find her advice useful.

Take-Aways

  • To deal effectively with conflict, you must become at ease with it.
  • Conflict, at its simplest, amounts to an argument or disagreement between groups, individuals or countries. 
  • A potent, carefully thought-out resolution process can transform a conflict into new possibilities, although most people in a conflict aren’t aware of that option.

    I was reminded about this - to deal with a conflict,

    1. Move beyond your feelings of anxiety.
    2. Don't let a conflict escalate; instead, try to diagnose the reasons behind it so you can help resolve it.

    How you use language can either accentuate a conflict or defuse it by using “deep or expansive listening.”
