- Conflict happens anytime you get a group together in a space trying to make decisions together
- Conflict can be a good force for innovation as long as it’s managed properly
- You want to handle conflict in a positive way and it’s important to learn how to manage conflict, especially when you are a business owner or in a leadership role because conflict trickles down
- A major part of conflict resolution is communication! As a leader / business owner, you need to know how to communicate well.
- Non-violent Communication by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg is a great resource for learning to communicate
- Most of us haven’t learned how to communicate well, especially during conflict, so it’s very difficult to navigate these types of feelings, emotions and situations
- Don’t let things fester and build in you!
- You want to let go of your ego so that you can communicate with people without being defensive
- When you are dealing with conflict, you need to create a safe place for people to talk
- It’s important to head off conflict as soon as possible by communicating
- Communicating feels in the moment is great IF you can identify them
- It takes a lot of self awareness to know when something is about the other person and when it’s about you
- Listen Empathize Apologize Fix
- “Your feelings matter and I’m sorry” – a genuine apology goes a long way!
- “I’m sorry you feel that way” is not a genuine apology – it comes across as very condescending
- After you apologize, ask them how you can fix it or do something differently in the future
- If you are a mediator of a conflict, you have to take the stance of a neutral so that the space is safe for both parties
- Once both parties have had their chance to talk, ask them what their big takeaways are and how they can move forward from there
- Daily meditation is a key way to stay self aware
- At the end of each day, do a little recap of how you’re feeling – journal about what’s going on each day and how you’re feeling
- Peace starts from within – if you aren’t at peace from within you may have a hard time getting peace in the external aspects of your life
