  9. Two-Challenge Rule • Invoked when an initial assertion is ignored… • It is your responsibility to assertively voice your concern at least two times to ensure that it has been heard • The member being challenged must acknowledge • If the outcome is still not acceptable • Take a stronger course of action • Use supervisor or chain of command

  10. Two-Challenge Rule in Action

  11. Conflict Resolution: DESC Script • A constructive approach for managing and resolving conflict • D—Describe the specific situation • E—Express your concerns about the action • S—Suggest other alternatives • C—Consequences should be stated • Ultimately, consensus shall be reached.

  12. Let’s “DESC-It!” • Have timely discussion • Frame problem in terms of your own experience • Use “I” statements to minimize defensiveness • Avoid blaming statements • Critique is not criticism • Focus on what is right, not who is right
