WEEK 5


 
 
 
DISAGREEMENT

 

I am not one to have a conflict with anyone, but here lately at work it has been one conflict after another. I have recently taken on a job as "Health and Safety coordinator", and everyone thinks they do not have to listen to anything I tell them to do. I do not like the feeling at all when I have words with other people. For one I was brought up that you are to respect your elders, and most of the people I have under me are a lot younger than me. I need to really stop and think before I say anything, because maybe I am saying things out of context or with an attitude. I feel I am one that needs to step back and look at the whole picture, and do some active listening before I act on anything. To keep my thoughts to myself and think before I say something I will regret. I think when we are upset at each other we say things before we think and it is usually all negative and no positive reinforcement.     

 

The main thing is to look at myself first and think how we can all stay positive in any conflict and not fly off of the handle so much. Communication is one thing that everyone has no control over how they respond to certain people, and you do not realize you hurt someone's feelings until you have done opened your mouth the wrong way. Sometimes we need to walk away from a situation and come back to it later when we have calmed down, and then try to fix the problem. My situation will get better once we get director that is permanent and not one that is filling in at least that is my opinion on the whole thing for now.

 

I feel using the three R's will help you to know how to communicate with all of your co-workers, friends, or even family members. The three R's is a guide to know how to communicate without having any kind of conflict. It will give you advice on talking with other people and how to control your conversation, so it does not get out of control. We as adults need to stop, and think before we say anything. The main thing is to watch the tone you use that can have some affect on your communication as well.

Some times people act certain way because they feel jealous for one thing or another, and they do not how to deal with it. I see myself feeling very uncomfortable when I have to tell people what to do. It takes a lot of thinking trying to find the right words.

Robin,
I feel the same as you do. I dislike conflict my feeling is can't we all just get along, but I know that is not so. Everyone has their own opinions and way of doing things.
