Conflict is all common in nature and organizations around the world are not untouched with it. To manage conflict effectively you must be a skilled communicator. Make sure you really understand what employees are saying by asking questions and focusing on their perception of the problem. The first step in resolving a workplace conflict is to think about the other person’s point of view. Try to be reasonable, respectful and polite, or at least neutral, in all your dealings. Your rational behavior might encourage the other person to act accordingly. If simply changing your own behavior isn’t enough, you might need to address the person head on. You might think work would be so much easier if you didn’t have to deal with difficult people, but difficult co-workers or clients can actually be helpful in your professional growth. Successfully managing workplace conflict requires patience, logic, excellent communication skills, and a cool head — essential tools for any successful people-leader.
