Conflict and resolution can be managed and achieved with training! A conflict is the moment of truth in a relationship – a test of its health, a crisis that can strengthen or weaken it, a critical event that may bring lasting resentment, smoldering hostility or psychological scars.
Conflict and resolution can…
- Push people away from each other or pull them into a closer and more intimate union
- Contain the seeds of destruction and the seeds of greater unity
- Bring about armed warfare or deeper mutual understanding.
Conflict occurs at home, work and in play. Resolving conflict in a good way involves specific skills if it is to be handled satisfactorily.
We need to:
- recognise conflict is inevitable
- want to do something about it
- have a structure to follow
- acknowledge our needs and the needs of others
- have their co-operation to seek a mutually satisfying solution
- together look for the numerous ways the problem could be resolved
- decide on a course of action agreeable to both parties
Benefits to you for learning these skills…
- conflicts are brought out into the open where they can be dealt with
- improved relationships, warmer feelings, better teamwork!
- increased respect for self and others
- conflicts are resolved peacefully and democratically
- workplaces are more productive and run more efficiently
- homes are happier, children have the opportunity to grow in confidence and self-esteem
