Conflict Resolution

What is conflict resolution?

Well, according to freedictionary.com conflict resolution is:

Conflict resolution is a range of methods of eliminating sources of conflict. The term "conflict resolution" is sometimes used interchangeably with the term dispute resolution or alternative dispute resolution. Processes of conflict resolution generally include negotiation, mediation, and diplomacy. The processes of arbitration, litigation, and formal complaint processes such as ombudsman processes, are usually described with the term dispute resolution, although some refer to them as "conflict resolution." Processes of mediation and arbitration are often referred to as alternative dispute resolution.

Well, after that rather lengthy definition, hahahaha, I think we kind of get what it is.

There are five different styles we prefer in different situations that help us resolve conflict. These styles are:

Competitive

Collaborative

Compromising

Accommodating

and Avoiding

I personally use the collaborative style more.

In my leadership role, I will use these different styles to adapt to situations and resolve whatever conflicts arise. This way, I can become a professional conflict resolutioner! Hurray!
