Beauty beneath Managing Conflicts

Managing conflicts external to you

1. Have a Heart, not hammer to manage.
2. If a conflict shows up, do not shoot it down or resist; but accept.
3. Use restrain and not reaction. Analyze and understand genesis of conflicts, with no biases and prejudices.
4. Work to extinguish emotions behind conflict.
5. Open line of communication with all, listen everyone and blame no one.
6. Desist from making any personal remark.
7. Focus on issues beneath and not personalities you face.
8. Persons or entities involved would always have either same or different attributes out of 12 mentioned in earlier post, at conflict. Identify those attributes in relation to each party. It would be then easy for you to drive a compromise or evolve a consensus.
   Example 1 – Your spouse Desires to buy jewelry and your Goal is to save. Compromise could be that spouse scales down amount to be spent and you to save less. Or, consensus could be one of you to postpone what you want.
   Example 2 – Customer’s Priority is to reduce his cost in purchases and your/company Priority is to improve margins. Way out of this conflict with same attribute is either compromise by both to bring down how much to save and make or one of the entities to give in.
9. Celebrate compromise or consensus to put everyone at comfort; but never do that for win of one over another! If you do later part, conflict can resurface in its new form.
