Discussion Post: Interpersonal Communications
With any personal relationship, there is the potential for conflict. Whether it is in the workplace or in a person's home life, conflict often occurs. In fact, it should be seen as natural and unavoidable in some respects.
Watch the TED Talk on understanding conflict in the workplace:
YouTube Video Liz Kislik: "Why There's So Much Conflict at Work and What You Can Do to Fix It | Liz Kislik | TEDxBaylorSchool"
Reflect on the ideas presented in the video and respond to each of the following questions:
a) How do the descriptions of conflict from the video relate to your own experience of conflict at work, or even at home? Use specific examples to support your answer.
b) How do your own assumptions, beliefs, and values impact the way that you approach conflict?
c) How can understanding the assumptions, beliefs and values of others impact your ability to deal with conflict effectively? Be as specific.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
