2.08 – Support Teamwork with Conflict Resolution Skills

Understanding Conflict helps people see that conflict is not necessarily bad. Conflict can help cause greater productivity and build teams rather than hurt them.

Each style is valid, and each has its downside. No individual style is better than the others because each has its usefulness. Conflict RESOLVED Essentials provides key points of a process that can be used to help people resolve interpersonal issues. A “recipe card” is provided to help reinforce the 3+3+2 recipe: 3 Critical Principles (Relationships, Future, Freedom), 3 Cardinal Rules (Slow, Talk, Two), and 2 critical skills (Listening, Questions).
