Ways in which a person should approach conflict resolution in order to sustain healthy relationships
Answers
Conflicts are a normal part of human existence. Conflict is seen in many societies as repulsive, abhorrent and destructive.
In order to maintain healthy relationships, one should approach conflict in the following manner :
1. Opportunity to Learn
One should ideally approach conflict with an open mind. Conflict can be an opportunity to learn something new or learn something about another person. You can learn from your boss, spouse, co-worker, neighbour, or child.
People get a chance to talk about their fears, dreams, ambitions and goals. This information is can be used to build a healthier relationship with the other person.
2.Increase skills
Conflict can be used as an opportunity to learn new skills such as sales, public speaking, negotiation, communication and problem solving.
These skills are critical in life and business.
In order to resolve conflicts, the best way to approach the situation is to be calm, level headed and allowing yourself to patiently listen to the opponent's point of view.
This will help identify their thoughts and then communicate your own. You should not lose your calm or talk over the other person as it will not only anger them but also will not resolve anything.
