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.
