  3. Conflict Resolution What is Classic Dialectic Thinking? A philosophy that dates back to the work of Zeno of Elea who influenced Plato, Socrates and Aristotle In classical philosophy dialectic is a form of reasoning based on the exchange of arguments and counter-arguments, advocating propositions (thesis) and counter-propositions (antithesis). The outcome of such an exchange might be the refutation of one of the relevant points of view, or a synthesis or combination of the opposing assertions, or at least a qualitative transformation in the direction of the dialogue. - Oxford Dictionary of Philosophical Quotations Stephen Covey refers to this as “Seek First to Understand” – Seven Habits of Highly Successful People

  4. Conflict Resolution Becoming Self Aware • To truly understand the perspective of others, you must begin by truly understanding your own. • Who Am I and Why?

  6. Conflict Resolution Tool: How did your experiences shape your schemas? Examples: • A parent’s drug and alcohol addiction may make you more aware of others’ mental state • A rural upbringing may make you more trusting of strangers • Being an only child may make you desire more privacy • A broken marriage may make you less comfortable with sharing feelings • Parent(s) were entrepreneurs so you may have higher risk tolerance

  14. Conflict Resolution Rules of Engagement • Conflict involves an issue, not a person. • Shift from self centered thinking to dialectic thinking, emotionally invested to objectiveness. • You must enter into resolution with a sincere desire to understand the other person’s perspective. • Keep the conflict between the two people involved • Do not use “the boss” as a mediator • Focus on only one issue • Avoid the “but reversal” • Use “I “ language, not “you” language • Do not wait more than 48 hours to begin process

  15. Conflict Resolution Active Listening Skills • The person who initiates the resolution process should do so in the work area of the other party • State your perspective on the issue succinctly using “I” language • Listen to other person’s perspective without interruption • Use encouraging facial expressions, language and eye contact • Clarify any points of confusion • Do not judge or challenge the validity of the other person’s perspective • Write the critical points of conflict on a piece of paper • Discuss these issues and problem solve how to resolve them in the future • Each party should make a commitment to future behaviors related to these issues • Consider “Forced Empathy” when resolution bogs down • Remember, the goal is to have a broader understanding of an issue, not to win an argument
