Who's first approach to conflict has been a not so great experience? Conflict can have productive results when at least one party communicating is willing to begin a positive communicating effort. Positive results can come from conflict due to the amount people can learn from one another when they stop trying to change another beings opinion about a topic and begin to listen and learn where that individual is coming from with his/ her views of the topic. In order to effectively manage conflict a person must be willing to hone in on their active listening skills as well as their positive conflict managing skills.
Many people may have a negative view of conflict due to the negative energy that can surround conflict. Emotions like fear, anger, and sadness can take place during conflict which can make an individual feel attacked, misunderstood, etc. A person may be able to begin seeing conflict in a positive manner when he/she takes a look at how they’re currently handling conflict. After identifying how conflict is being handled maybe one can look at certain triggers that cause emotions to run haywire. From there an individual can learn new ways of conflict communication then begin application. I believe that after applying the new ways of conflict communication one would start to see the positive results in their communication.
Now you may be thinking, sounds easier than it's done, and you may be correct. If you're anything like me undoing some learned habits can be a difficult task. The first step is to become willing to apply some new techniques. Once you're willing than just start putting some conflict techniques into practice every chance you get. Conflict can sound scary, but just remember that through conflict we can learn to grow.
