RESPONDING TO CONFLICT
There are times you can simply walk away. This will give you a chance to calm down so, if needed, you can later discuss the problem rationally.
If walking away will not resolve the conflict, many times minor conflicts can be solved with a compromise.
It is unwise to compromise when doing so could have harmful consequences or would go against your values.
Share some examples when you should not compromise.
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION
Negotiation: the use of communication and, in many cases, compromise to settle a disagreement.
The Negotiation Process: involves talking, listening, and considering the other persons point of view.
Mutual respect is an important factor in a successful negotiation.
STEPS OF THE NEGOTIATION
PROCESS1. Take time to calm down and think over the
situation2. Each person takes turns talking without
interruption. Use good listening and “I” messages”.
3. If necessary, ask for clarification to better understanding.
4. Brainstorm solutions5. Discuss pro’s & con’s of the solution6. Agree on a solution7. Follow up to see whether the solution has
worked for each person.
PREPARING FOR NEGOTIATION
Choose a time and place carefully: Should be done when both parties are calm and are not rushed. Meet in a quiet place or neutral ground.
Check your facts: Make sure your understanding the information is based on accurate facts.
Plan what you will say: Think about how you will word your statements respectfully.
Tips for successful negotiations: Stay calm Attack the problem, not each other Avoid blaming & name calling Keep an open mind Listen attentively Be willing to apologize if you did something wrong
