How Does The Nature Of Your Relationship Affect Conflict Resolution?

August 17th, 2009 |

This post is more of a question than a statement. I’m looking for input and feedback on this question:

How does the nature of your relationship with another person affect the way you handle/view/approach resolving a conflict with them?

Like many things in life, I have an opinion on this topic. I would just like to hear your perspective as well.

Can you help me out by leaving a comment?

Thanks.

I don't think this is a straight forward answer. Relationships are all about trust as you need this first to negotiate efficiently. The key to negotiation is trust.

Without trust you aren’t going to move forward but with most people you can build some element of trust. You can even build trust with animals.

You can build trust in different ways by demonstrating that you are listening, using your body language and the words that you use. Choosing your body language, tonality and words are the key to building rapour, which is the foundation to conflict resolution.

Darren,

I think you're right on target with your comment about trust. When I said I had a perspective on this in my post, the level of trust you have developed with the other person was one of the issues on my mind.

Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment.
