Overview of conflict styles
Conflict is considered as the part of life. The concepts are a point that everyone has their own interest and incompatible understandings. People have different goals, experience, principles, and feelings in this aspect of life. In some other way, the concept of conflict style describes the experience of two people having discomforting differences. Talking about the daily lifestyle conflicts, we think of helping others in every aspect of life but we go through some arguments. In volunteer activities or in relationships we must respond to any conflict if it moves in any harmful or beneficial condition. Conflict styles of daily lifestyle have some management style of avoiding, accommodation, collaborate, and completion of strategy (Prause and Mujtaba,2015).
Conflict styles are based on the following major categories
• Issues are involved in a conflict that is based on the principles, important priorities, and values.
• In any conflict, the importance of maintenance problems and resolving them reveals the relationship priority
• The relative power and time required to resolve such issue is based on the conflict style
Positive and negative traits of conflict styles
Talking about the positive traits of my conflict style discusses that when the team members feel fully confident and they are free to think about their ideas they provide relative information about their own thinking. No judgment is seen in this case. Hence, the process becomes creative entirely and in this way, I feel the benefits of conflict styles. I guess managers have to understand the outcomes of debating in a business environment. Managers facing a positive argumentive environment facilitates the discussion and makes positive ideas for a better understanding of the managers. The reviews and feedbacks of employees are provided (DuBrin,2015).
The negative traits of the conflict styles used in my area are based on pretty arguments. Hence, on any occasion, the two parties are found augmenting and everyone feels it. Hence, people must have understood the pressure and they must try to reduce the tension and fuss in any function. In any business environment, conflict styles force arguments and disagreements with the leadership which creates disrespect in the organization (Folger et al,2017).
Benefits of building an awareness of conflict styles
When multiple employees work together in any organization conflicts are normal. While building an awareness among the employees working in any organization about the conflict styles, stronger relationships are maintained. Conflicts become easy to manage and poorly managed conflicts are difficult to handle (Goetsch & Davis,2014).
The skills of resolving conflicts are beneficial to solve any business issue effectively and efficiently. The understanding between the employees and the customers become strong and they get positive feedbacks. Employees started thinking beyond the opinions and emotions and they encourage others to think deeply about problem resolving solutions. Tension is reduced by awareness of the employees about conflict styles (Rahim,2017).
Personal insight on the anatomy of conflict
Based on the Lynda.com videos, my conclusion about the conflict anatomy is different from others. It’s my vision of seeing this concept that makes it different for me at least. As if someone wants to understand the conflict he must know what is conflict actually then only he can embrace it. The root cause of conflict and the consistency along with its goodness or badness must be known. The anatomy of conflict explains that absence of communication leads towards the absence of respect.
Conclusion
Summarizing the overall essay explains the concept of conflict styles and its benefits. The positive and negative traits and having the understating if proper conflict styles. Managing conflict in any organization is necessary for the proper relationship building and leadership programs.
