Many employees resist conflict resolution for fear it might not work out in their favor! Unfortunately, the fear is based on the belief that conflict resolution is win-lose - that it seeks to discover who is right. The art of conflict resolution, however, is anything but win-lose. Conflict resolution is about producing satisfaction for both parties. Part of what makes conflict resolutions successful is listening to the perspective of the conflict partner and acknowledging it. The other important part is the art of compromise. You can find do-it-yourself conflict resolution outlines online, read books on the topic, or work with your EAP to learn this skill. Simmering and unresolved conflict is like a drain on a car battery - but in this case, it's draining your ability to be happy on the job.
