What is your conflict resolution style when does it serve you well and when is it not ideal?

This is an interesting question to ask when I do communication and conflict resolution workshops because most people have never thought about their conflict style per se.

 

Fortunately, my panelists were able to articulate their styles.

 

Brandon Mahoney started us off by sharing that his style has evolved over time (mind has too – a lot!) and he has settled on a somewhat collaborative style. Try to work together to find a resolution rather than against each other.

 

As an attorney Elissa Hecker has situations where another lawyer might partner with her in one situation and then be opposing counsel in another so it’s important to her to keep things professional and even. And personally, she tries not to get too hung up in being right because it can damage the relationship.

 

Jim Lee was by far the most zen of all of us. He wants to be curious and understand what is happening so the conversation can move forward towards resolution.

 

The book I mentioned in this conversation is The Ultimate Guide to Handling Every Disagreement Every Time. Available on Amazon. (https://a.co/d/1B42Kea)

 

Do you have a conflict style? How did you develop it?
