TrainingBytes® Looking Over My Shoulder

A conflict with a co-worker can be one of the most frustrating things we have to deal with. I used to try to avoid people I didn't get along with, and just hope they got transferred out of the department. But the truth is that costs the department and the organization big time. It's one of those "everybody loses and everybody is miserable" approaches.

Can’t You Just Deal with It? (The 'Flight' Approach to Conflict)

Can’t You Just Deal with It? (The 'Flight' Approach to Conflict)

Most of us have responded poorly to an emotional trigger at one time or another. Usually we realize after the fact that our response didn’t help matters.

Using a Flight response may feel good in the short-term, but conflicts seldom resolve successfully when we avoid them.
