Put two or more people in a room for any amount of time, and disputes are likely. Conflict is a natural consequence of human interaction. When individuals clash, combatants can become so concerned with defending their turf that they cease communicating. Mutual distrust can build and working relationships may be irreparably damaged. Let us now see the most probable situations conflicts can arise in an Office and some simple tips to resolve:

How to resolve personality conflicts between co-workers?

Maintaining relationships is key to resolving conflict, so if a situation is thought to be unfixable, the best advice given by experts is to figure out a way to ‘remix’ the situation so the two parties look at the situation differently.

Here are a few tips for consideration:

• Think before acting- use common sense and common courtesy – if someone in the office is bothering you, you may be bothering them.
• Listen to others – listen attentively and hear what your co-workers are saying, not what you expect them to say.
• Listen to yourself – Figure out your tone, attitude and how well you communicate.
• Be positively disarming – maintain a positive attitude; for example, find a trait or a skill that you admire in the other person, and focus on that.
• Focus on the task, not the person – no matter what the situation is, you still have to focus on the project or activity and not the person.
• If you can’t say something nice, avoid gossip – a spin on the old adage – if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all…

How to resolve conflicts within a team?

When a team oversteps the mark of healthy difference of opinion, resolving conflict requires respect and patience. The human experience of conflict involves our emotions, perceptions, and actions; we experience it on all three levels, and we need to address all three levels to resolve it. We must replace the negative experiences with positive ones.
The process below is a form of mediation process, which helps team members to do this:
• Acknowledge the conflict – The conflict has to be acknowledged before it can be managed and resolved. The tendency is for people to ignore the first signs of conflict, perhaps as it seems trivial, or is difficult to differentiate from the normal, healthy debate that teams can thrive on. If you are concerned about the conflict in your team, discuss it with other members. Once the team recognizes the issue, it can start the process of resolution.
• Discuss the impact – As a team, discuss the impact the conflict is having on team dynamics and performance.
• Agree to a cooperative process – Everyone involved must agree to cooperate in to resolve the conflict. This means putting the team first, and may involve setting aside your opinion or ideas for the time being. If someone wants to win more than he or she wants to resolve the conflict, you may find yourself at a stalemate.
• Agree to communicate – The most important thing throughout the resolution process is for everyone to keep communications open. The people involved need to talk about the issue and discuss their strong feelings. Active listeningis essential here because to move on you need to really understand where the other person is coming from.

When conflict is resolved take time to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions everyone made toward reaching a solution. This can build team cohesion and confidence in their problem solving skills, and can help avert further conflict.

How to resolve conflicts with boss?

There will be occasions when you and your boss won’t agree. The key to surviving such situations is not to let them “get to you” personally. Your goal should be to maintain a harmonious working relationship with your manager, even in moments of high stress or confusion about your authority. If your boss is impossible to work with and you are unable to have a healthy, harmonious working relationship with him/her, it may be time to look elsewhere for a job.
Before taking that step, you may want to present the situation to Human Resources. Try to resolve with these solutions:
Stick to the facts – Base your case on numbers, events or documents that can be objectively studied. You may see your manager as a bully but don’t cast aspersions or pot-shots before Human Resources. On the other hand, you should be prepared to answer questions from Human Resources department, the degree of its doubt dependent upon your past work relationship with others.

Provide Insights to help your manager rethink the logic behind his or her case – Human Resources will be aiming to have both you and your superior rethink the logic behind the situation. Ideally, you should be willing to see the situation from the other’s viewpoint. If you come too strong, you can make both your Manager and Human Resources Department deaf to your side of the situation.
Finally, it’s YOU who can resolve any kind of conflict. The answer is within YOU!
