Constructive Conflict Resolution
Make Commitment to Positive Relationships.
State Positions Directly and Honestly. Listen Attentively to Diverse Opinions. Accept Responsibility for Thoughts &
Feelings. Address Issues, Not Personalities.

Understand Persons & Perspectives. Use Supportive, Not Defensive,
Communication. Look for Agreement under Disagreement. Focus on Issues, Not Positions. Generate Alternatives Before Final
Resolution. Insist on Objective Standards for Solutions.
