Conflict Management series

Part 1: The Conflict Flowchart

This four-part series deals with conflict and conflict resolution and management in an entirely new way.  It is appropriate for both personal and professional use, for technical and management professionals, in industry and government.  It is both prevention and correction based.
  • Part 1 includes a self-assessment, followed by a conflict flowchart, depicting traditional "fight or flight" on the left, and the more positive "desire to learn" on the right.
  • Part 2 divides conflict into 52 subcategories and, based on self-selected characteristics that you or another exhibit, gives a pseudo "artificial intelligence" PowerPoint indexing model of clarifications and solutions.
  • Part 3 exhibits the R.I.D. model (Recognize, Identify, and Deflect) for conflict, coupled with conflict recognition and avoidance using Gregory Bateson's model of Logical Levels.
  • Part 4 shows quick techniques to avoid escalation of criticism, plus a change in languaging called "slight of mouth" to turn conflict into chemistry.

Abstract:  During this first part of a 4-part series, we will have you self-assess whether your conflict situation is chiefly an attitude challenge (simply difficult), a conflict challenge (strategically difficult), or a facilitation challenge ("situationally" difficult).  

Then, we will fully describe the Conflict Flowchart. This flowchart shows the path of a "damager" on the left and a "manager" on the right.  The less desirable left hand side describes the path of overt and covert control, power struggles, blame, victimhood, and compliance.  The more positive right hand side depicts the desire to learn and reflect, be part of a team, taking the more peaceful path of being a healer rather than a hurter.
