What are three useful techniques for resolving conflicts?
What will be an ideal response?
The authors identify eleven conflict resolution techniques. These include having a face-to-face conversation about the source of the disagreement; practicing conversations aimed at resolving conflicts; choosing battles (i.e. letting some disagreements go); avoiding placing blame on others; keeping communication open (asking people to share their feelings); giving and taking (allowing each person to have his or her say and listening to everyone's views); avoiding the airing of dirty laundry (sharing disputes with those who are not involved); agreeing to continue the conversation once it has been initiated; honoring agreements that have been reached; leaving the scene of a conversation that is not progressing productively and continuing it elsewhere; and finding alternative approaches to resolving differences if initial efforts are unsuccessful.
