Description

🏕 Priority Mandatory 🐇 Size Small 📅 Sprint 2 Module-Data-Groups Submit:Issue
Learning Objectives
  • Identify appropriate steps to resolve a conflict
Why are we doing this?

We looked at conflict resolution in the prep work for this week's sprint. How we resolve a conflict will often depend on what the conflict is about. Consider the following types of conflict and choose one.

  • A technical disagreement about how to write the code for a well-understood task.
  • The manager wants you to work faster but with a smaller team by rushing.
  • A competitive and ambitious person wants you to look bad so they can get a promotion instead.

Sort the following list of approaches or questions into priority and usefulness. Add your own strategies to this list.

  • Don’t let your emotions control you.
  • Paraphrase what the other person said, confirming your understanding and showing empathy.
  • Each conflict is an opportunity.
  • Find out what facts the other person knows.
  • What do they want? Relatively few people have hidden agendas.
  • What do you want? Assert your points clearly without being too shy.
  • What is their general attitude and approach?
  • What possible solutions to this conflict might exist?
  • Agree on part of the solution if you can’t agree on all of it.
  • Build a network of people to support your resilience and perhaps mediate the conflict.
  • Communicate clearly before there is a conflict.
  • Be assertive enough to make your point.
  • Escalate the topic to someone more senior to arbitrate.
  • Keep away from the other person and find your own solution without them.
  • … add your own strategies.
