Clarify Whats in Conflict
If youre in conflict with a co-worker, figure out what
your bottom-line position is. For instance, if you and a colleague
need to decide who will give the presentation at the sales
meeting and neither of you wants to do it, determine what
your real issue is before you begin to discuss the topic.
Can you give the presentation, but youre not able
to create it? Or are you scheduled to be on vacation that
week, so while you dont mind doing all the background
work, youre simply unavailable for the meeting? By knowing
what your sticking points are, youll be prepared to
negotiate on the other issues.
