• Dealing with Longstanding Conflicts - Center for Conflict Dynamics

  By na - In situations where a conflict has been going on for a long time, it is often because one or both parties have been avoiding a true resolution of the problem. Whether it is because they don't want to hurt someone's feelings, risk damaging the relationship, or are just plain fed up in dealing with an annoying issue, people often become complicit in an unacceptable situation because it seems easier than addressing it directly. The truth of the matter, though, is that unresolved issues rarely go away by themselves. Usually, they fester and get worse over time so the better approach is to deal with them openly, honestly, and as soon as possible to ensure the relationship doesn't continue to deteriorate.

  By Adam Hanft - In the workplace, our primary impulse is to turn down the tension thermostat. We paper over real and meaningful disputes in an anxious rush to create consensus--even if that consensus is largely artificial. Simply put, we are uncomfortable with conflict, perhaps because we are trained from pre-K to make nice. I assumed this was just part of doing business--until I met Bob Taraschi, founder of Milestone Consulting, a firm in Dedham, Mass. All consultants make promises, but Taraschi's struck me as particularly compelling. He promises the miracle of "conflict transformation." (Added: 19-Dec-2005 Hits: 901 )

• Achieving Civility in Today's Workplace

  By Jeff Durham - A modern work place is a hive of activity with employees often working under a great deal of pressure. Therefore it's hardly surprising that tempers can often get frayed yet, whilst that might be understandable in certain instances, it should never be thought of as acceptable behaviour. A busy workplace is never going to be a domain where everything is going to go smoothly all of the time and people are not going to be laughing and joking with each other constantly. Nevertheless, with a little thought and consideration by each and every one of us, it is possible to create a civil environment which, after all, most of us would prefer rather than the back-biting and moaning we're often subjected to when we go to work each day.
