When Faced with Conflict, Try an Introspective Approach
When faced with a conflict with a coworker, people often jump to blaming others. But instead of reducing their stress, having an accusatory mindset toward others only fuels the frustration. To defuse the situation and return to a place of peace, you must first examine your own contribution to the conflict — no matter how small. There are a few steps you can take to have a more introspective approach to managing conflict with a colleague. First, clarify exactly what happened. Examine the situation that got you so upset and explore the broader context. Then explore why it triggered you. Your emotional reaction to a situation with someone has more to do with you than it has to do with them. Next, address your fears. The only way to be truly free from overwhelming negativity and anger in our relationships — both personally and professionally — is to take a look at our own insecurities. Finally, communicate with clarity and compassion to explain your side and find a solution.
