In resolving conflict, ask the question, “How do we keep this from happening again?” The first thing is to be objective. This helps in managing conflict by keeping team members focused on the problem at hand (Huber, 2007)

A major benefit of dealing with people in work places and outside of work is dealing with conflict. Disagreements can easily cause individuals to have confrontations which isn’t always easy to resolve or ignore the situation. When trying to handle conflicts, we need to be aware of the ego state the

Learning to communicate efficiently and manage conflict successfully is challenging. Gaining cooperation between people is complex and mentally demanding. Communication ways and conflict styles are deeply woven into our personalities. Conflict is the expressed struggle of interdependent parties who perceive incompatible goals, interference from the other party in achieving those goals, and the perception of scarce resources. Perceptions are just as important as reality in regards to conflict. As stated in the text, “we encounter conflict as we compete for acceptance, love, recognition, position, power, success, and many other goals. Judgments of the quality of

W. Johnson and T. Johnson informs, “The first is that by teaching students the skills, competencies, conceptual understandings, attitudes, and values necessary to resolve conflicts constructively, a safe and productive learning climate will be created.” Once students have mastered the competencies and attitudes they need to resolve conflicts, they will then have to face their own conflicts rather than avoid them. Through this process there will be both immediate and long-term goals.

The topic that I have chosen to discuss throughout this paper is Managing and Resolving Conflicts in a Relationship. This topic is very important to me simply because, I personally see a lot of relationships failing, including some of mines due to lack of resolving and managing conflicts correctly. By the end of this paper I hope that I have helped the reader understand and eliminate any conflicts that confront their everyday lives.

For centuries, violence has been the go to way to settle conflicts, but it has also been very controversial throughout the years. While some say war is important in order to maintain our freedom, it is actually a very unnecessary and destructive way of settling conflicts because it kills so many innocent people and it hardly ever accomplishes anything for such a hefty price.

321). When this element is observed, the person can truly grasp onto the underpinning issues that gave rise to the situation initially. Empathy illuminates to the other person that he or she “recognizes that at some point we may have done to someone else the very thing we are now trying to transcend” (Hocker et al., 2014, p. 336). Riordan (2014) suggest that “leaders who are effective at processing assure others that they are remembering what others say, summarize points of agreement and disagreement, and capture global themes and key messages from the conversation”(para. 4). Actively listening and empathizing greatly reduces the level of intensity of the encounter. If the listener repeats back what they have heard and understands the dilemma, the issue may dissolve into a difference instead of a higher level

Conflict is a subject I really don’t care for, as I believe many don’t. It’s not pleasant most times and can be uncomfortable as mentioned in Interpersonal Skills in Organization. Although conflict is not something any of us like to deal with, unfortunately it is a natural part of life, and it is important to know how to address it. We find that controlling our tempers, communicating effectively, and keeping an open mind can make a huge difference. These points were helpful for me since I often times don’t know how to handle conflict when it comes to certain situations, and many times have ignored it with the hope that it would eventually go

There are four distinct conflict styles which are the levels of assertiveness and cooperativeness that are employed by a person in a conflict situation. Everyone has their own individual conflict style; my own style tends to be accommodating. This means that I am not very assertive and I am very good at cooperating with those I am in conflict with. In this essay I will examine each conflict style and my own choice of style and why I tend to default to this style. I will also examine whether or not my choice of the accommodating style is the best approach to resolving conflict, and discuss the advantages of learning to use each of the styles in specific situations.

In this writing, we will explore and explain strategies of conflict resolution and, encourage teams, individuals and society as a whole to use some of these ideas for their own resolution purposes. “In many cases, effective conflict resolution skills can make the difference between positive and negative outcomes.” (Conflict resolution, 2008). With this in mind, individuals will have hope for a more positive team experience.

While an individual may attempt to avoid conflict in the workplace, there is no way to actually escape it. In the workplace environment, there are a variety of co-worker relationships and challenging work situations that may increase our emotional response. Therefore, it is important for employees to have the skills and abilities to recognize when conflict occurs, identify the type of conflict, and to implement effective strategies that will bring about a rapid resolution to the conflict which satisfies all stakeholders. Many people allow themselves to become emotional which is ineffectual when conflict occurs. Other individuals are fearful of conflict in the workplace and hope that if they bury their heads in the sand the situation may resolve on its own without any interventions. Unfortunately, very seldom does conflict in the workplace resolve on its own accord. In order to prevent conflict from escalating, it is imperative for employees to take a proactive approach and implement strategies which provide a framework for conflict resolution. Methods for conflict resolution are provided with Bernard Mayer’s Wheel of Conflict (Mayer, 2000) and Christopher Moore’s Triangle of Satisfaction (Moore, 2003). This paper will provide an analysis of a workplace conflict and demonstrate conflict resolution utilizing each method.

 "Effective conflict resolution requires dealing constructively with disagreements rather than pushing them under the rug, letting them break into open warfare, or attempting to eliminate them completely.  Successful resolution of a conflict may include the following: accurate diagnosis of the nature and source of the conflict, a clear understanding of how each party is contributing to the conflict, skills and processes for defining alternatives, constructively negotiating outcomes, and creatively developing win-win resolutions" (Hagberg Consulting Group, 1).
