How do you deal with conflict? Do you deal with it assertively and relaxed? Or do you lose your temper? Do you confidently confront conflict head-on? Or do avoid conflict in the hopes that it will go away by itself?
If the answer is “yes” to that last question, don’t feel bad. The truth is that most of us have learned from experience that workplace conflicts too often lead to unproductive consequences such as anxiety, anger, intimidation, blame and resentment. Often conflict situations can be like the big elephant in the room that everyone sees but is afraid to talk about. But it doesn’t have to be that way. As a leader, you can create a positive, harmonious environment where your team feels good and is productive. Conflicts can be resolved amicably, without yelling and hurt feelings. In fact, managed conflict is a healthy way to bring important issues out in the open and strengthen your relationships with co-workers, bosses, vendors…even your friends and significant others.
