Productive Conflict Video

 

Watch the following video: 

Why Conflict is a Good Thing | Dale Feinauer | TEDxOshkosh (Links to an external site.)

Think about your significant other or a close friend or family member with whom you have a strong relationship. How do you argue? What rules do you have for engaging in conflict with that person? How do you signal that a conflict is beginning? How do you manage the conflict so that all parties have a say in the matter at hand? What processes have you experienced that help you resolve the conflict or come to a decision on the matter? If you do not have productive conflict processes, what can you change in order to be more productive in your conflict?
