Due to differences of opinions between individuals, it is common to have contradicting views on the same topic and can often lead to a fight or a long-lasting conflict. Sometimes you may be the one in the conflict or sometimes you are the one who is not in it and is trying to resolve the issue. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar lists some tips that can help you in managing conflicts in your workplace or even with your loved ones at home.
As we started, differences of opinions and differences of points of view are the main reasons behind a conflict. It is a common and sometimes even healthy thing that can help you in overcoming a problem that had been going on for a long time or may prove to be a growth opportunity.
You need to normalize the fact that conflicts happen in every person’s life and what needs to be done is working towards solving it rather than spending time on any other thing.
Sometimes the reasons behind some big fights are very small and the only thing that is adding fuel to fire is involving individuals that are not linked with the matter. So, if you want to solve a conflict, avoid adding a lot of people to the problem and don’t go speaking about the problem to every person you meet. Talk to the right people, the ones that have a say in the matter, and talking to them will actually solve the problem.
If you want to resolve the conflict you should have a proper understanding of both sides of the problem. Complicated and problematic opinions may be the reasons behind arising conflicts between individuals. You need to listen to the problem properly. Active listening can help you to get rid of the problem.
Even if the people involved in the conflict are friends with you, always agree with what is right. Analyze the problem and try to explain the right point and the right thing to be done.
