Conflict Management series

Part 4: Quick Techniques

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 "sleight of mouth" to turn conflict into chemistry.

Abstract: Part 4 shows quick techniques to avoid escalation of criticism, such as "get curious not furious".  Some "silver bullets" to maximize agreement are shared. The program includes a change in languaging called "slight of mouth" to turn conflict into chemistry.  Frequently, negative and possibly inflammatory remarks can be reframed with positive, re-directing questions.  This causes a shift in energy and more beneficial results.
