How To Resolve Conflicts

xplaining how hurt you feel and agreeing together a way that you can communicate this to him in front of others – perhaps by using a code word – will prevent a repeat of this in the future.

but how the problem is discussed.

ecide to ask your boss to explain why you didn’t get the promotion and/or perhaps decide to look for another job?

well, on friendships where you are valued, on goals you have achieved, and on things you have accomplished.

Of course, not all anger is destructive or wrong. In some situations anger motivates us to take positive action; this is most clearly seen when we become aware of suffering or injustices. If our feelings motivate us to try to help, then a great deal of energy can be directed into something worthwhile.

Attitude, behaviour, self-esteem, and the way we value others, all play an important part in creating or avoiding conflict. We need to be aware.

Remember, the person who angers you controls you.

Living with someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have a relationship – close communication does.

If you treat people as if you expect them to be reasonable and to return the courtesy you extend to them, you are far less likely to become involved in conflict. Sometimes it will be necessary to back down to avoid violence but it is never right to admit something is your fault or responsibility when, quite clearly, it is not. If you do this, you will end up with a poor opinion of yourself and an internal mental label of coward, manipulator, or liar. Always remember, if your intention is for good, no matter how wrong things go, or how they may be misinterpreted, you can still walk away with your head held high.
