Resolve an Open Conflict

In business, we distinguish between latent conflicts (or in other words undeclared conflicts), and open conflicts. This video will answer three questions. How to define a latent conflict? How to anticipate it and last, how to defuse it before it surges too much?

You’ve noticed a conflict and would like to handle it with the participation of the parties involved?  Two preliminary questions will allow you to confirm whether the protagonists are ready.

Do you need to discuss  a case where opinions and interests diverge? 

How do you prepare to address this contentious topic so that the discussion goes smoothly and the dispute is resolved? Preparing yourself mentally and emotionally is the key. In this video, I suggest 5 questions that will make all the difference, 5 questions to ask yourself before confronting your interlocutor.

In order to resolve a conflict, it is essential to distinguish between the source of a conflict and its inflation. Because each of these 2 elements must be and will be resolved in a different way.
Conflict avoidance is a form of conflict inflation. The conflict is inflated because we let it slowly consume us, without intervening.

Properly resolving a conflict, what does it really mean?
We are about to see the 4 criteria that indicate good conflict resolution, the 4 criteria that make us say “ok, all’s well that ends well”. The degree of satisfaction, the quality of the relationship at the end of the resolution, the long-term effectiveness of the solution and the final cost of the conflict.
