In my life I have had a few disagreements or conflicts
with family and a couple a months ago I had a conflict with one of my
coworkers. She decided that because she was older than me that she could talk
to me like I was a child. I didn’t like that one bit. I know that Im young but
that does not give you the right to treat me like a child, such as telling me
that I need to stop forgetting things. I thought it was called being human but
apparently not to her.
In order to manage or resolve conflict: 1) Communicate with
that person, your situation and to listen to each other. Do not interrupt and
to empathy towards each other to sort the situation out. 2) Have good
negotiation skills in order to find agreement and to overcome the challenges.
These are some of the strategies that I myself need to
practice in order to resolve conflict better. On the other hand, the situation
with my coworker was resolved. I was mad on the inside and barely talked to her
but eventually she apologized and realized that it was wrong of her because she
knows that I am a great worker. She asked for my forgiveness and along those
lines our relationship did get better in the workplace.
Angel, I like it how you mentioned that you were angry in the inside, but kept it to yourself. Human as we are, we can react to situations, but like what you said, it is important that we take control of our emotions as our actions can be miscalculated.
