Part B: PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT MANAGEMENT

FIVE STEP CONFLICT RESOLUTION MODEL

Step One: Assessing the Situation.

Don't react. Step back from the conflict. Take time to think about the conflict and what is happening.

Identify all the parties to the conflict.

What are the sources and triggers of the conflict?

The various styles of conflict management used by the various parties.

What if any, power, diversity, or emotional issues present?

Step Two: Clarifying the Problem

Practice direct communication: speaking to the persons in the conflict, not about him/ her/ them.

Use active listening skills in order to define and clarify issues in the conflict: paraphrasing, "I" statements, supportive confrontation

Attack the problem, not the person.

Step Three: Define Interests and Finding Common Ground

Avoid taking positions and giving ultimatums.

Explore and define what it is that you and the other persons really need. In meeting the other person's needs, you are more likely to have your own needs met as well.

Seek common ground in the conflict: what are the mutual concerns/ interests

Step Four: Generating Options

Brainstorm and generate multiple options- invent first, decide later

Focus on the future, the past cannot be changed, explore what it is that each person needs to move on.

Look for a mutually beneficial solution- a win-win outcome.

Step Five: Decision Making and Implementation

Establish objective criteria collaboratively to select the best option.

Make decision and discuss method and details of implementation.
