The constructive conflict

Disagreements and differences in perceptions, desires and needs exist in every organisation. Where there are people who wants to function and perform together, conflicts may occur. In conflicts, there are always different point of views toward the issue which must be taken seriously.

At the same time, in a work-related context, it has to be accepted that it is the overall object and related tasks that must be solved. The core task must therefore always be a part of the conflict resolution.

Sometimes, the internal differences are intensified, which can lead to a conflict that is inexpedient and damaging for further collaboration in the organisation. When a conflict rises to a level where it cannot be solved independently by the involved parties, we are able to contribute to the conflict resolution as an impartial third party.

We always work bipartitely in conflict resolution:

At first, the subject of conflict and what the individuals perceive as important must have its place and after that it has to be sorted out to an adequate degree. Otherwise, it is in the way in terms of further progress for both the individual and the organisation.

Second, we always ensure that the organisation’s objective and direction is the focal point of conflict resolution. Further, the resolution must have a long term and viable solution that ensures the organisations ability to be successful with its subsidiary goals and core tasks.

We resolute conflicts by creating space for the necessary communication between the involved parties and by assisting the individual employee to move on forward. More importantly, we contribute to establishing a mutual solution focus in order to make you able to work efficiently and in unity solve current and forthcoming tasks.

Conflicts are often unpleasant to take part in, which is why the vast majority of people are shy of conflicts in certain situations. Hence, it is important to create the necessary confines in which there is opportunity for reflection.

Conflicts contain a lot of energy which can lead to individual and collective learning and development if they are used constructively. Learning how to handle and navigate in these is therefore of value.

We support executives, managers and employees in clarifying and reflecting about their own ability to handle conflicts and strengthening their ability to handle themselves emotionally in tense situations. Through this, we contribute to developing and enhancing the individuals’ authority, impact and achieving of results.

Do you or your organisation find your selves in a conflict you cannot solve alone? Feel free to contact us for a dialogue about how we can facilitate a constructive resolution.
