CONFLICT MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES AND BEST PRACTICES

Understanding that everyone is different is one of the most essential abilities to put into practice when it comes to dispute resolution. We must have compassion, understanding, and the correct attitude when dealing with conflict because how we feel about a situation will be very different from how someone else feels (Tannenbaum, 2020).

Raise Conflict Awareness

Determine the source of the disagreement. You can make the greatest decision on how to manage the issue and discover the best solution after you understand where the problems are coming from. Bring all of the parties concerned together to inform them of how the matter will be handled and how it will be handled fairly.

Take A Considered and Rational Approach

Begin by establishing all of the conflict's facts. What is the source of the problem? Who are the people who are involved? What caused the situation to escalate to the point where assistance was required? Remove any emotional attachment to the situation in order to have a better grasp of what has occurred and piece together the facts you want.

Investigate the conflict

Take in as much information as possible from both parties, set aside the time necessary, and examine the concerns. Don't make any decisions until you've heard both sides of the story.

Determine who else may have been involved, what triggered the conflict, and how individuals are feeling now - and how they felt before the conflict. Take the time to listen to people on a personal level, find a method to understand their perspectives, and summarize what they've said back to them so you can feel confident that you have what you need.

Finally, attempt to figure out whether there were any underlying reasons of conflict, such as a previous complaint you weren't aware of, that weren't immediately apparent.

Determine How The Conflict Can be Tackled 

After hearing everyone's ideas on how to best resolve the problem, come up with a solution. You want to make sure that everyone has been heard, but you also want to create a system that rewards resolving the problem rather than letting it go unnoticed.

Make Certain Everyone is Heard

Allow everyone an opportunity to talk about the problem, but most importantly, attentively listen to what they have to say about it. It's critical to have a cheerful and forceful demeanor throughout the conversation. Set ground rules if necessary.

  1. Every day, organizations face a variety of conflicts involving employers, employees, and other relevant parties. However, good communication helps to resolve differences and achieve an agreement before violence breaks out. Conflict is natural and predictable in all activities in an organization, and it can have positive or negative results depending on how the leader handles such situations.

  2. Conflict can arise between managers and their employees, as well as among team members, departments, or managers. Conflict can be communicated openly, but it can also be veiled as irritation, resentment, morale loss, and a lack of commitment. Hidden conflict is simple to overlook and, as a result, can be devastating. If nothing is done to address the underlying issues, disagreement can develop from gossip, backbiting, and criticism to shouting battles, threats, and even violence. Such consequences are frequently avoidable if problems are addressed as soon as possible.
