By asking the question, “How do I respond to recurring conflict?” we gain insight into ourselves.
And considering other people’s Conflict Habits helps us understand the patterns of interaction we've gotten stuck in with them.
Identifying our habits and patterns is the first step toward freeing ourselves from conflict and achieving optimal outcomes-- even without anyone else's cooperation.
Based on Dr. Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler's original research and 20 years of practice in organizations, she has identified four Conflict Habits:
1 ) We Blame Others;
2) We Shut Down, avoiding conflict completely;
3) We blame and Shame Ourselves; and
4) We Relentlessly Collaborate, even when others refuse to cooperate.
This short, free quiz poses questions to identify your primary conflict habit.
The quiz takes about seven minutes to complete; answers are confidential.
Organizational leaders, executive coaches, professors and business consultants already use this framework to help people free themselves from conflict and achieve optimal outcomes.
