Here's how you can enhance your conflict resolution skills over time.

Anticipate what they need to hear, not what you want to say. These are often two very different messages. What will bring about change?

Firstly, I do focus on active listening, really hearing what others are saying. Then, I work on trying to understand their perspective even if I disagree. Next, I will practice communication, expressing my thoughts calmly and respectfully. Reflecting on past conflicts helps too, identifying what went well and what did not, and learning from those experiences.

Conflict resolution for me is more about giving the other party an opportunity to express their frustrations or discomfort while the other party listens attentively without interruptions (avoiding unnecessary escalations) and also acknowledging their feelings. It is also important to get to the bottom of the root of the conflict so that lessons can be learned and give an opportunity for a fruitful engagement to take place between the parties involved.

Most of conflicts built on assumptions and background perspectives , so understanding conflict and testing assumption through communication and mentoring from wise leaders are key to resolve this conflicts.

One thing from my personal experience, the more i started actively listening to other’s side, the more we get to know clearly. We may not be right always, we may realise it later. It’s very effective to understand this so that next time we be prepared to listen before involving in a conflict. It’s also very important, not to interrupt when the other party is trying to explain.

Listen carefully to the other party’s point of view, then analyze the situation, explain the point of view from both sides, and give neutral and useful solutions for the benefit of the work according to the analyses.

listening, listening, listening and very attentively. be a good listener and be mindful listener, listen for the feeling underneath i.e., the tone, feeling and context.

Make a Contant effort to understand the person and to that, you need to against developing arguments as the other person is speaking

By hearing and understanding the concerns of all parties involved, misunderstandings can be clarified, and tensions can be diffused. Encouraging People to listen without interrupting and to paraphrase what they've heard ensures that everyone feels heard and valued. This fosters empathy and promotes a deeper understanding of each other's perspectives, paving the way for finding mutually beneficial solutions.

One of the most important management in today's professional life is Emotional Management. A person who is playing multiple roles a day must be able to have multiple emotions and a balance between them. Many a times our emotional weakness creates a situation that we regret later. Anger or Happiness, so must come with a limit.

We're all human and when you care about your job emotions will play a part in this. It's best to leave it at least 24 hours because there is no logic at play when someone is emotional.

Conflicts between team members can be major time drains in project management. Here's how to be proactive: 1) Know Your Triggers: Identify situations or behaviors (like interruptions) that spark emotional responses in you during conflict. 2) Craft Your Calm: Develop a "management language" - pre-defined phrases like "Let's take a moment" or "I agree with what you are saying in principle but may be differ slightly in its execution" to de-escalate situations. 3) Prepare for Anything: Expect conflict. Create a conflict response template - a list of phrases or a framework for tackling disagreements. By managing our emotions, we can navigate conflict effectively and keep our project on track.

Emotional intelligence is vital for conflict management. It means understanding and controlling your emotions and those of others. By staying calm and composed, you can prevent conflicts from escalating. Time management helps by giving you moments to reflect and regulate your emotions.

In Negotiations, Sacrifice is key and Strategic PAUSE is the trick to achieve If you pause and re-think what's in it for me to loose or gain, and then put up your case, you will have high success rate in the high emotion or high stake discussions This was truly reflected in many Shark Tank Deal Closing where Sharks were making the founders to go for less money higher equity (while they knew the value in the entity) and the founders (knowing their work) had calm way to seal the deal their way

In my experience, listening and having an open mind is crucial when it comes to collaborative problem-solving. All sides and stakeholders involved, within reason, should be given the chance to give their point of view alongside a potential solution. This way, it's assured that there is a fair solution being created while also sharing responsibility in resolving the conflict. In general, taking on this approach will create a healthier environment where reasonable communication and brainstorming is enforced.

What if there was no longer conflict & confrontation but connection, creativity & collaboration? First, recognize the costly assumptions that caused the conflict. Then, realize it's not you vs. them but you & them vs. the problem. To resolve conflict, set positive intent so the person is on board & aligned with a shared objective.👉🏼What I want for you is to feel I’m a resource to help you succeed.

Listen, then try to point out a common goal amongst the parties and when you do that in many cases they ll be more open to find ways to resolve conflicts because otherwise it d be a lose-lose for everyone

A resolução colaborativa de problemas reúne todas as partes para encontrar uma solução que beneficie a todos. Essa estratégia fomenta um espírito de parceria e responsabilidade coletiva na solução do conflito. Ao discutir opções e analisar seus impactos, cria-se um ambiente de cooperação que favorece o compromisso e o acordo mútuo.

Developing strategies will also help with boundaries and expectations in the workforce. It will also set the culture up for success.

Getting better at handling conflicts means taking a moment to reflect on and learn from what happened. Talk to others about what occurred and how you could have handled things differently. Try out new approaches and see what works best for you. Treat each conflict as a chance to sharpen your skills and find new ways to deal with tricky situations. Remember, practice makes perfect!

Our team faced a conflict that impacted productivity. We tackled it directly by creating a safe space where everyone could express their thoughts and feelings. We listened actively, explored solutions, and reached a resolution through fair negotiations and mediation. The decisions were documented and followed up, resulting in a stronger team and improved communication.

Develop your own strategies that can be useful according to your goal. As the strategies are different are variable that will be results into your outcomes.

I recently read "Surrounded by Idiots" by Thomas Erikson, and I feel like it can be very effective in enhancing your conflict resolution skills. By understanding the four personality types (Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue) and their distinct communication styles, you can tailor your approach to conflict resolution to be more effective for each type. Here’s how you might apply these tactics, there isn't enough room here, but I will use RED personality as the example. Red (Dominant and Assertive): Tactic: Be direct, concise, and assertive. Focus on results and solutions rather than emotions. Conflict Resolution: Address the issue head-on, propose clear solutions, and avoid unnecessary small talk. Respect their need for control and efficiency.

We should never stop working on ourselves therefore reflection and learning is important especially with conflict resolutions.

The idea I use to improve when I get feedback: If someone says I need to change my behavior, it may just be their point of view. If two people say the same thing, maybe it's a coincidence. But if three people have the same point of view, I need to be better. And when someone points out something to improve, I always talk to others to see if they agree.

El cerebro humano está diseñado para aprender de errores porque solo cuando nos replanteamos una situación la asimilamos con profundidad, seguramente recuerdas mejor aquellos exámenes en los que tuviste fallos cuando eras estudiante o aquel proyecto que fue difícil resolver; porque de esos esfuerzos cognitivos se generan conexiones que derivan en una mejor comprensión. Así que hay que poner manos a la obra porque si no sale como esperamos, también podemos ganar al aprender de la experiencia. Claro, para obtener este beneficio es necesario detenerse un momento, gestionar emociones, hacer instrospección y muy probablemente, a partir de ello, tomar decisiones.

After resolving a conflict, reflect on what worked and what didn't. Use these insights to continuously improve your conflict resolution skills.

je pourrais améliorer mes compétences en résolution de conflits au fil du temps en: -Formation continue : Participer à des formations spécialisées en résolution de conflits pour rester à jour avec les dernières techniques et approches. -Pratique réfléchie : Analyser chaque conflit résolu pour identifier ce qui a fonctionné et ce qui pourrait être amélioré, en transformant chaque expérience en une opportunité d’apprentissage.

Apart from listening carefully, developing empathy, I feel that communicating more and more, rather than avoiding to speak out, is the key to conflict resolution. Conflicts arise because of personal, professional, cultural and many other barriers and they are natural. But the more we communicate and try to understand each other, we develop more understanding and acceptance of each other's thoughts, ideas and perspectives. This helps to dilute conflicts to a great extent. At the core of any conflicting situation is a lack of a dialogue that could have resolved it much earlier. Speak out, reach out, apolgize if required, seek clarity, share the intention and there will defintely be no conflict or minimized conflicts :-)

Don’t let it fester. If there is a problem you need to address it in a timely fashion. You don’t need resentment building and causing strife.

1.Active Listening with Paraphrasing: Description: Focus on truly hearing and understanding the other person's perspective by actively listening and then paraphrasing their points back to them. Application: In a conflict, listen without interrupting, then say, "What I'm hearing is that you're concerned about [issue]. Is that correct?" This ensures clarity and shows respect. 2.Use "I" Statements: Description: Communicate your feelings and needs without blaming or criticizing the other person by using "I" statements instead of "You" statements. Application: Instead of saying, "You never listen to me," say, "I feel unheard when my points are not acknowledged." This reduces defensiveness and promotes constructive dialogue.

I would add - maintain composure, even when emotions run high. It can help prevent escalation and allows for more rational decision-making.

Practice! Be it with colleagues, friends, family - engage in real-life situations and apply the principles and techniques you have learned. Use conflicts as opportunities to experiment with different approaches, try out various techniques such as problem-solving, compromise, negotiation depending on the nature of the conflict. Pay attention to what works well or what does not and continuously challenge yourself to refine your strategy.
