There is a lot to learn concerning Conflict Management. Conflict at work is a painful reality and a key reason for poor productivity and stress. Do you have individuals within your workplace that create problems for everyone else? Do they generate additional work for other people? One point is clear--conflict does not magically vanish entirely and only gets more serious when dismissed.
Few circumstances are just exactly as they seem or as presented to you by others. Before you decide to try to work out the conflict insure you have investigated each side within the issue. I recall an altercation involving two panel members. One associate was frustrated with the direction the business was taking. He advised the other, "Just don't worry about this. It isn't that important." Have in mind what seems to be a tiny concern for you can be a significant issue with another. Acknowledging the frustration and concerns is a vital part of solving the conflict.
That old adage, "Haste makes waste," has a lot more truth in it than we quite often realize. Take time for you to examine all information. A too-quick conclusion does more harm than good when it turns out to be the wrong decision and even more offending the individual involved. Emotional outbursts or coercing individuals may stop the issue temporarily, but don't fool yourself into thinking it is a long-term answer. Odds are the problem will resurface. At that point you will not only have the initial issue to manage, but in addition the angry emotions which have festered underneath the surface throughout the interim.
This look at conflict is seen in many businesses where the notion would be that the goal of an organization can be achieved only by providing framework to the business which completely defines the function and responsibility of every member. This traditional view of organization will watch conflict as an evil, and rather than dealing with the conflict it would only end up suppressing it. This bad perspective of conflict of an organization tends to create many problems. If the so called Framework of the organization is valued more than the conflict it will end up in siding away the issue and suppressing the reason behind the conflict. This sort of an organization is certainly one that doesn't have innovation and change. Many government agencies operate in a very disorderly framework, thus allowing the room for a constant change and adaptation. Controlling the conflict will have many bad effects such as missing the positive aspect of conflict - that is studying the other side of the coin. Advancement and better decision making are shed in the process.
Conflict Management should be actively pursued. We must all be in the movies because most of us somehow kid ourselves by assuming that we are totally blameless for the causes of most conflicts. Press the pause button and wait a minute before you decide to reply to any conflict. Carefully think back about all of your previous actions, and take a deep honest look at your unknown contributions to the problem. Then gather up the courage to go talk matters over by saying the parts that you may have induced.
