Just like stress, there is no way to avoid conflict in our lives. It is a normal process of life. The causes of conflict stem from problems with communication, differences in what each person wants from a given situation, differences in how to get to an agreed outcome, and personality differences.
Conflict resolution is the process of resolving a dispute or conflict. Successful conflict resolution occurs when each side’s needs and interests are addressed in such a way that each side is satisfied with the outcome.
The following strategies can contribute to positive conflict resolution:
- Break the conflict into manageable parts and highlight where there is common ground. Emphasize points of consensus.
- Identify the acceptable and unacceptable aspects of each alternative suggested.
- Gain consensus one step at a time.
- Separate the person from the issue.
- Maintain a professional demeanor.

I’m impressed, I must say. Very rarely do I come across a blog that’s both informative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your blog is outstanding; the issue is something that not many people are talking intelligently about. I’m really happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this. 2011 Happy New Year!

I would not have been able to quit smoking without e cigarettes and I’m steadily cutiing down my nicotine intake. In my view e cigarettes are a great cessation aid.
