The following are some steps to help resolve conflict in the workplace.
1. Identify the issue(s). What is the real problem? Remember: Your perception of the problem may be different than your co-worker's. Communication is key.
2. Take everyone's concerns into account. Practice active listening. Repeat what the other person said for clarification.
3. Don't interrupt. Let everyone have their turn to speak and listen carefully to what is beiing said.
4. Brainstorm for possible solutions. Evaluate the options. Take a piece of paper and make two columns, one for plusses, one for minuses. List answers for each column.
