Conflict Transformation

12/08/2014

If you think you can do a thing, or think you can't do a thing; you're right.
Henry Ford

In her article, "Does Your View of Conflict Get in Your Way," which is included in the Exchange Essential, Supervising People Effectively, Edree Allen Agbro, concluded with this challenge:

"I encourage you — as an early childhood professional, a leader, and a co-creator of the world we are developing for children to inherit — to change your mind about conflict. Stop thinking about conflict as something ‘bad’ that happens to you — something that is undesirable and scary. Stop wasting precious energy avoiding conflict, stressing out about conflict, or wishing it would go away. Begin letting the irritation of differences cultivate ‘pearls’ of new possibilities in yourself, your team, and your entire work environment. Start at the basics. Change your metaphor — your basic assumptions about conflict. Change your mind and let great results follow."
