Resolving Conflict
The challenges associated with conflict run deep and the resolutions do not come quickly. When conflict arises, what can we do?
1) Embrace the conflict. Conflict allows us the opportunity to learn from and grow through it.
2) Develop consistency. Hypocrisy is destructive, thus a consistent approach is the best start.
3) Listen to all sides. There are at least two sides to every story. Listen completely to both.
4) Respond quickly. Waiting to address conflict produces bitter and incorrect feelings.
5) Invite collective wisdom. Ask others who have faced similar conflict and learn.
This is not an exhaustive list, but with a good start we can find resolution more quickly.
