Thinking about disagreements I am currently experiencing, I believe that a comprise would be a great solution. I have always been a big fan of comprising because I think it is a great way for both people to feel like they "win." I think it is effective because no one likes to lose an argument; I also think when a comprise is brought up, both parties can input ideas and work together to come up with a comprise. The second strategy that I believe might be effective for these disagreements would be incorporating the three Rs into the conversation. Conversations that include respect will have a better ending rather than when we disrespect each other. I also think that conversations simply aren't effective when we are not reciprocal or responsive. How have you learned to be a more effective communicator regarding conflict resolution skills?
Hi Mary
ReplyDeleteI relate to the strategies you chose as compromising reflect attentive listening skills. In addition, I would have add empathy as it portray our genuine care for the person.
Thank you for sharing!

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteFinding solutions that give both sides a win is great. In many aspects, we do that everyday with our colleagues, students, family members, etc. I do agree that incorporating the 3 R's can be beneficial in times of conflict. Thank you for sharing!
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI also think that whenever possible, a compromise is a great way to manage conflict. I also feel that when people are shown empathy and active listening, they are more likely to work towards a compromise. Thanks for sharing your strategies!
