Conflict in Communication

Conflict management and conflict resolution strategies can be improved with nonviolent communication and the three R's.  The best strategies to resolve conflict is to use compromise for both parties to resolve their issues.  I have had conflicts with my fellow teachers and I have always tried to use compromising or mediators to resolve the conflict.  Communication is also a key element of conflict resolution.  When people use nonviolent communication, the conflict is less likely to escalate.  The three R's can also show others that you are willing to respect their opinions and views and allow them to present their side of the story.  Therefore, these concepts can help improve conflict resolution.

  1. Tammy,

    I was glad to learn these strategies this week. As we have learned in previous weeks, allowing others to express their opinions shows respect for their viewpoints. Going into conflict with an open mind, allows for compromise and resolution of conflicts. The other advantage to this approach is exposure to different ways of solving a problem. While we may have a solution, it may not be the BEST solution.
