  • 5 Elements of Conflict

By Mary Cantando2 Comments

The inability to rise above conflict is a key reason that organizations and relationships fail. This is true not only of work groups and partnerships, but marriages and families as well.

You can often trace conflict back to miscommunication or misunderstandings; so the first step to overcoming conflict, is to understand it.

Understand These 5 Elements of Conflict

1. Conflict is a normal part of life.

Conflict occurs in every organization and relationship from time to time. The key rests in how you resolve and learn from these situations.

2. Conflict can often be avoided or minimized.

One of the secrets to minimizing conflict is understanding your own attitudes toward it. How much do you need to win? Is coming out ahead in this discussion more important to you than the long-term relationship? Would you rather win the battle and lose the war?

3. Separate major from minor conflicts.

Focus on the things that really matter and help others do the same. Don’t waste time and energy battling over things that don’t matter.

4. Every conflict does not have to generate a winner and a loser.

Often a midpoint is the perfect solution. Be the first one to suggest compromise by making a small concession.

5. You can learn from a conflict.

When you replace the win/lose attitude with a learn/learn attitude, you are taking the first steps toward learning from conflict and minimizing it in the future.

Five Beliefs That Will Take You Far in Life

I’ve often been referred to as a “Pollyanna” because I really believe that no matter what you’ve got going on in your life, you can make it truly great. I’m not saying that it is easy to make it great, but if you make that decision and are willing to work on the changes required, I believe that anyone can have a great life.

Here are five concepts that can move you in that direction.
