Storytelling Project

l once had a workplace confrontation with the colleague because of poor communication. I invited colleagues to have a talk and will be at the workplace and make sure nobody disturbed. We discussed the issue and agreed to communicate frequently to prevent future conflict. At a meeting we summed up our agreement and our disagreement. I asked my colleague if he agreed with my assessment. He said he agreed and we worked out a solution. We also agreed to meet again in the future to continue our discussion. So we meet regularly until we have resolved all areas of potential conflict, also, we maintain a collaborative attitude that “Let’s solve the problem together.” We also met several times and worked on building a strong relationship to help us achieve our personal and professional goals. Since then, we have worked closely with my university and achieved remarkable success in our work. One thing I learned from this case is to face the conflict instead of avoiding it. I think handling it can quickly prevent it from impacting our performance.
