Conclusion – 12 Steps to Resolving Conflicts
By: Dr. Ron Jenson
I hope you found these 12 Steps to Conflict Resolution helpful. What I want you to remember is …
Step 12 – Be GENTLE!
By Dr. Ron Jenson
The 12th step in this process of resolving conflict is very simple. It’s Be Gentle. Yes! Be gentle.
Step 11 – Deal with Conflict Personally
By Dr. Ron Jenson
Have you ever been in a situation where you were called out publicly, or someone reprimanded you, confronted you publicly? Maybe in a large group? Or in your organization in front of maybe two or three other people? It’s incredibly embarrassing and shaming. I don’t believe that ought to be the norm at all.
Step 10 – Seek and Grant Forgiveness
By Dr. Ron Jenson
Have you ever had a broken relationship that just wouldn’t heal? Maybe it was a father or a parent who hurt you? Or didn’t pay attention to you growing up? Or maybe it was a conflict in a marriage relationship? Or with children or coworkers? And then it never got resolved and over time, feelings started to harden?
Step 9 – Deal with Specifics Not Generalizations
By Dr. Ron Jenson
How do you feel if someone simply says to you, “I have a problem with you,” but won’t tell you why more precisely.
The principle I want to talk about here, the ninth step in the 12 Steps of Conflict Resolution, is to Deal with Specifics not Generalizations.
