    Conflict can occur in many situations in the workplace such as, when there is an organisational change or, when people’s personalities clash. When there is a personality conflict between colleagues these issues should be looked at from the other person’s point of view to try and understand them and determine what may cause someone to act this way; you can also look at how others interact with them to gain knowledge and understanding of others, most importantly the conflict should be resolved quickly before it becomes out of control. When two people clash due to issues it is usually easier to handle as the situation can be looked at logically with compromise…

    Lens Model of Conflict

    • 376 Words
    • 2 Pages

    According to our textbook, there are two fundamental aspects are important in all conflicts: (1) communication behaviors and (2) the perceptions of those behaviors. Think of the study of conflict as a view through a lens, like the lens of a camera, or through prescription glasses. The lens model of conflict specifies that each person has a view of (1) oneself, (2) the other person, and (3) the relationship. These perceptual pieces form the fundamental views of all conflicts, and combined together they form the mosaic of a particular conflict (Wilmot & Hocker 2010).…

    The best way to respond to conflict is by lying and/or hiding. I personally think that these are both good options. But I do understand that they can have consequences. Sometimes the consequences can be very little, but can also be very big and bad. Lying however, is sometimes thought to be a good response at a certain time.…

    Over this past eight weeks we have all learned abundance about the different types of conflict and the various types of resolutions for those said conflicts. We did not just learn about conflict but we also looked into ourselves and our peers to see how exactly conflict intertwines with our own lives and how we deal with it on a daily basis. This paper is being written to show exactly what styles we use towards other people and how that looks to them and how it makes them see us. You will also read about some of my own personal examples of how I have ran into conflict and how I try and use my skills to the best of my ability to change the way it affects others and myself directly. I will include some of the information that was assessed by some peers and also the assessments completed by myself to show what I think of myself and what others see me as. Conflict is a problem for many either it be at school or at work but with the knowledge gained by the class, book, and assessments it makes it easier to find yourself changing to what is right.…

    There are various different ways to care workers can adapt their style of communication to meet the needs of others. If for example they are dealing with a service user who has a speech impediment then they could use closed questions to allow them to communicate effectively on the other hand if a service user is able to talk and the care worker uses a lot of closed questions it could prevent effective communication as they are not given as much freedom to talk or explain how they feel. Using a lot of open questions (how, when, why?) allows the service user to expand of their answers and have effective communication with the care worker. The pace at which the worker speaks at can also be of great importance when trying to achieve effective communication they must change the pace at which they speak depending on the type of service users they are dealing with, for example if they are dealing with someone who is hard of hearing it may be beneficial for them to slow the pace at which they speak to allow the service user understand them. Many issues could arise if service users have misheard a worker and vice versa this could be because they may have thought they had heard them say they had already received their medication when they haven’t, this could have serious repercussions in the future. The tone which someone speaks can significantly change the type of message that is being communicated by speaking in a sharp tone it could upset someone.…

    From undertaking this assignment I learned a very great life truth that I would apply both in my family and marital life but in also in daily interaction with people. I learned that a conflict in conversation can arise anytime no matter the topic, but how you react to the conflict makes a strong difference in how it is resolved and the overall outcome. We should practice being more polite in and better listeners and this would greatly improve our relationship with…

    • My first conflict was with someone who used to be a friend. We have known each other a few years. We used to hang out in the halls at school together with a group of other friends and clown on each other and clown on other people who passed by. This somewhat made people think that we were a “bad group of kids”. We said they also might think that because we were mostly a minority group (Black and Hispanic with one or two white friends with us). None of us were doing much work or any sports in school. I always played sports throughout grade school but because of my grades I wasn’t eligible so I guess I was bored. My mom started telling me to get my grades up so that I could play again because she knew that I needed something to keep me focused on school. So with support from my principle and the football coaches I got my grades up and I became eligible. That was the best feeling; being able to play again. I still kept my friends but it started to get harder to keep up with them, school, football, and then track. My coaches, my principle and my mom told me that I needed to break away from that group and concentrate on my school work if I wanted to keep playing sports. I admit that when I did break away and start hanging out with different guys (football players and track team) I saw that we had more in common. Breaking away started tension with my first group of friends and me. They started saying that I thought that I was too good to hang out with them anymore. One of their moms told me that I was not “all that”. I even tried to explain to them but that didn’t do any good. All through the school year the tension got…
