Respecting and Resolving Differences

Conflict isn’t comfortable. However, when handled effectively, it can lead to positive change. You can make conflict more productive by reflecting on some important questions, such as: “Is my reaction proportional to the situation or might it be more about something else?” “Which part of this situation do I have the power to change?” “What would a positive outcome look like?”

Take assertive action. Assertiveness is very different than aggression. It involves expressing yourself clearly, directly, and respectfully, as well as practicing active listening and tempering your own reactions.

Identify any preconceived beliefs. It’s important to go in with an open mind—check yourself for any preconceived biases or explanations, and try to put them to the side so that you can really hear what the other person is saying and come to a resolution.

Create a safe atmosphere. Instead of personalizing or blaming, stick to addressing specific behaviors and how they impact you. Identify points of agreement and work from those first; then address the differences.

Remember your ABCDs. Agree to Brainstorm together and to Compromise, Clarify what the other person is saying, and Discuss mutually beneficial resolutions.
