In this presentation options for resolving conflict are presented from a psychological, social, scriptural and judicial perspective. A pattern suitable for systemic change is offered.
Conflict arises from perceived threats to our needs and interests, based on our unique perspectives. When conflicts occur, we should assess whether we are responding rationally or primitively. Effective conflict resolution requires open communication, mutual understanding of different viewpoints, and finding an optimal solution that addresses both parties' concerns. The document provides a 10-step method for resolving conflicts through recognizing issues, listening to understand different feelings, finding acceptable solutions, and treating each other respectfully.

Module 11 - Negotiation
What's the benefit of studying this topic?
Working, perhaps living in different countries, means multiple levels of negotiation. Holding an awareness of cultural impact in your negotiations will enable you to be open and effective. This mindset sets you up for success in a global, interconnected work life.
Readings:
· Adler Ch 9 emphasizes specifics of different negotiation styles likely tied to a range of cultural values
· Adler Ch 10 explores cultural transitions when living in different countries
· Adler Ch 11 suggests an important role for your spouse as you/your family adventure across country borders and cultural values. Although US-centric culture often omits an emphasis on family, when managing professional advancement, family goals are emphasized in other cultures, and underpin important career negotiations.

Module 11Negotiations in Multi-Cultural Settings to Bring It All Together
Introduction: Setting the Stage
Keep three key areas in mind discussed in other modules: ethics, motivation, and decision making. Think about how the ideas within these earlier topics also impact conflict and negotiation. The course elements are inter-related -- leadership is about many differing areas of importance in an integrated way.
But a leader must be an agent of change. As a change agent, he or she will navigate through conflict and negotiations in making decisions. Change is improved with effective management of conflict in the organization.
Along with conflicts and negotiating them to solutions, comes stress–let's spend a minute thinking about what stress can do.
Take the use of steel in construction. Steel is a durable, yet flexible material that can accept much stress; enabling stability in a building. The benefit over wood is that in a fire, the stress of the heat won't cause damage as quickly. Yet, should the stress be overwhelming on an increasing basis, the steel too, will cease to function; and the building will fall. Stress is generally a good thing; it allows the building to settle, and it absorbs the effects of weather; but too much stress is not healthy for the building or for leaders and workers. In managing conflict negotiations well, you as a leader will need to also balance time, pace, and communication to find the right level of stress.
At-a-glance Definitions:
Conflict: Difference of view points, opposing perspectives, or a disagreement. As a conflict deepens there is growing understanding of harmful risk and expanded resistance to seeing other opinions.

This document discusses negotiation and conflict resolution. It begins by describing the characteristics of conflicts as involving interdependence between parties, incompatible goals, scarce resources, and interference. Common responses to conflict include avoidance, accommodation, opportunism, and negotiation. Negotiation is presented as a process to resolve conflicts through dialogue and problem-solving. Effective negotiation focuses on finding win-win solutions where both sides benefit, rather than win-lose outcomes where one side loses. Key elements in any negotiation include information, power, and time. The document provides strategies for gathering information, understanding power dynamics, and managing time pressures to achieve cooperative resolutions.
This document provides an overview of effective negotiation strategies and techniques. It discusses that negotiation is a life skill that helps people reach agreements. There are three crucial elements to effective negotiation: information about the parties, time constraints that create pressure, and power dynamics. The document then outlines multiple steps for negotiating, including understanding what each party wants and their needs. It also discusses different power sources, styles of negotiating including collaborative win-win and compromising approaches, and tips for telephone negotiations.
Conflict resolution is a process where two or more parties find a peaceful solution to a disagreement. The goals of negotiation during conflict resolution are to produce an agreement all parties can agree to, work quickly to find a solution, and improve relationships between conflicting groups. There are seven steps to successfully resolve a conflict through negotiation: 1) understand the conflict, 2) communicate with opposing parties, 3) brainstorm possible resolutions, 4) choose the best resolution, 5) use a third party mediator if needed, 6) explore alternatives to an agreement, and 7) come to a final resolution agreement. Real examples provided include resolving conflicts between India-China, Apple in China, Iran nuclear negotiations, and Microsoft acquiring Nokia.
Conflict Resolution as a relatively young and emerging interdisciplinary endeavor is being utilized in mediation proceedings, as well as in the other Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) modes of conflict management. This presentation may be of use in transcending this age-old upheaval besetting humankind, hitherto.
The document discusses the use of restorative justice practices, specifically peacemaking circles, to address conflict and wrongdoing in a way that promotes healing, accountability, and reintegration. It outlines key aspects of peacemaking circles such as establishing a respectful space, using a talking piece, appointing circle keepers, developing relational covenants, and focusing on the needs of those harmed, offenders, and the community. The goal is to generate understanding and solutions through respectful and inclusive dialogue.
Conflict Resolution At The Workplace By Ravinder TulsianiRavinder Tulsiani
1) Conflict in the workplace can arise from disagreements that threaten employees' needs, interests or concerns.
2) There are various styles for resolving conflicts, such as competing, accommodating, avoiding, compromising, and collaborating, each with different consequences for communication and relationships.
3) An interest-based relational approach to conflict resolution focuses on maintaining good relationships, separating people from problems, exploring interests, listening, establishing facts, and exploring options together.

Getting to Yes! Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In - Summary - MemoJustin Fenwick
"Separate the people from the problem."
Members of the Harvard Negotiation Project, Fisher and Ury focused on the psychology of negotiation in their method, "principled negotiation," finding acceptable solutions by determining which needs are fixed and which are flexible for negotiators.
"Focus on interests, not positions."
"Invent options for mutual gain."
"Insist on using objective criteria."
"Know your BATNA (Best Alternative To Negotiated Agreement)"
This document provides an overview of mediation and discusses what it takes to be a mediator. It begins with definitions of mediation from different countries. It then discusses the benefits of mediation training, such as becoming better at resolving conflicts, negotiating, and preventing disputes. The document outlines several models of mediation, including the stages of mediation and techniques mediators can use. It also discusses different mediation styles like facilitative and evaluative. Finally, it considers psychological factors that can impact negotiations and decision-making. In summary, the document outlines mediation processes and styles, reviews models of mediation, and discusses what skills and qualities are important for mediators.
This document discusses key principles of psychology that are important to understand in negotiations:
1. The reciprocity principle states that people tend to treat others the way they are treated. Aggression often invites aggression while cooperation tends to encourage cooperation.
2. Framing effects can influence whether people take risks or avoid risks depending on how options are presented. Framing choices as gains or losses impacts decision making.
3. Anchors, even if arbitrary, influence judgments that people make by anchoring estimates around the initial value. Opening offers act as anchors in negotiations.
Mediation is a process where a neutral third party assists two parties in resolving a dispute. The goal is for the parties to come to an agreement without going through litigation. During mediation, the mediator guides discussions to help the parties identify the problem, recognize feelings involved, develop potential solutions, and come to a resolution where both parties make commitments outlined in a written agreement. The mediator remains neutral and ensures all parties have a chance to be heard while maintaining confidentiality.

1) The document discusses the principles of principled negotiation as outlined by Roger Fisher and William Ury in their book Getting to Yes, including separating the people from the problem, focusing on interests not positions, inventing options for mutual gain, and insisting on objective criteria.
2) Key aspects of principled negotiation are dealing directly with perceptions, emotions, and communication to resolve "people problems", identifying shared and conflicting interests, and developing multiple solutions to address all interests.
3) The document contrasts principled negotiation with positional bargaining, noting the former tends to produce wiser and more efficient agreements while maintaining relationships.
What are some essential differences between constructive and destruc.docxtwilacrt6k5
1) The document discusses different types of conflict that can occur in groups, including pseudo-conflict (due to misunderstandings), simple conflict (disagreement over issues or processes), and ego conflict (personal clashes).
2) It describes common causes of conflict like differing perceptions, personalities, knowledge, culture, power dynamics, and expectations. Conflict is generally an inevitable and sometimes useful part of group discussions.
3) The document outlines misconceptions about conflict and strategies for managing different types of conflict constructively, like clarifying positions, finding compromise, and emphasizing shared goals to de-escalate personal tensions.
Are you faced with conflicts in the workplace and unsure how to resolve them effectively? Have you tried to resolve a conflict with a manager, direct report or peer and felt like you got nowhere? Do you sometimes avoid conflicts because they seem impossible to resolve? In this webinar, we will discuss a step by step process for preparing to resolve a conflict, how to have a productive conflict resolution conversation, and learn more about the nature and purpose of conflict in the workplace.
B5 mediation skills for quick intervention managing conflict with angry clie...ocasiconference
The document provides an overview of a workshop titled "Putting out the Fire: Mediation Skills for Quick Intervention". The workshop aims to teach executive directors mediation principles and techniques to help resolve conflicts as they arise. The workshop will explore the nature of conflict, the role of a mediator, and core mediation skills like interest-based problem solving and active listening. It will also introduce a "Quick Intervention Model" to help mediate conflicts on the spot using these skills.
This document discusses conflict management techniques and styles. It identifies five main styles: competitive, collaborative, compromising, accommodating, and avoiding. The competitive style takes a firm stand to satisfy one's own concerns, while the collaborative style tries to meet the needs of all parties. The compromising style partially satisfies everyone by having all parties give up something. The accommodating style meets others' needs at the expense of one's own. The avoiding style seeks to evade conflict entirely. Perceptions play an important role in how parties experience conflict due to factors like culture, gender, knowledge, previous experiences, and impressions of others.
The document discusses frames in international negotiation. It identifies 7 key frames or categories of experience: 1) substantive issues, 2) desired outcomes, 3) broader interests, 4) conflict management process, 5) identities, 6) characterizations of the other party, and 7) views of risks in potential outcomes. It also discusses traps that can occur when parties are blind to each other's frames, and the use of dialogue to reframe intractable conflicts by establishing common ground and enhancing the appeal of alternative options.
1. The document discusses the problems that arise from positional bargaining in negotiations. Positional bargaining focuses on arguing over positions which can produce unwise agreements, is inefficient, and endangers ongoing relationships.
2. It introduces the method of principled negotiation which involves separating the people from the problem by dealing with interests rather than positions. This means understanding differing perceptions and putting yourself in the other side's shoes to reduce conflict and find mutually beneficial agreements.
3. Key aspects of principled negotiation are discussing perceptions, looking for opportunities to change perceptions through inconsistent actions, giving the other side a stake in the outcome, and making proposals consistent with their values and face-saving needs.
Negotiating wisely for a positive outcomeChelse Benham
The document discusses effective negotiating strategies. It recommends using principled negotiation, which involves separating people from problems, focusing on interests rather than positions, generating options before deciding, and basing agreements on objective standards. It also discusses common negotiating mistakes made by women, such as not recognizing opportunities to negotiate, difficulty saying no, and negotiating less for themselves. Effective negotiation involves preparation, understanding the process, focusing on objective criteria, and using one's strengths sincerely.
The document discusses theories and processes for effectively resolving conflicts. It describes two main theories: 1) Kenneth Thomas and Ralph Kilmann's five conflict styles that vary in assertiveness and cooperation, and 2) the interest-based relational approach which focuses on separating problems from people and finding solutions mutually beneficial to all parties. The document then provides a five-step conflict resolution process applying these theories: setting the scene, gathering information, agreeing on the problem, brainstorming solutions, and negotiating an agreement.
Empathic Listening How can empathetic listening assist when listen.docxjenkinsmandie
Empathic Listening
How can empathetic listening assist when listening to respond, listening to learn, listening to be with, or listening to connect in order to go from concord to confirmation and prevent the conversation from going from concord to consolidation. Provide an emotional context (e.g. when someone else is angry, when you are angry, when some else needs forgiveness, when you need forgiveness).

Discuss the Importance of Listening as a Tool to Design Effective Organizational Structure
An organization is a grouping of people, skills, and tasks designed to be the most effective use of time, talent, and treasure that is able to accomplish the mission or purpose of why the group has been organized. This is true from the very formal organizational structures of a school
house and hospitals, regardless if there is a pyramid or family design, to rather informal organizations such as the Red Hat Society or Parent Teacher Association. Organizations and teams are struggling to balance the needs of people with the needs of the whole system. Miyahsiro boils these needs down to respect, harmony, and effectiveness (Miyashiro, 2011). Therefore the words, connectors between the parts of the organization, must come from a place of respect and intended to fit, or be harmonious with, what is going on in the present to lead to a more effective future. However, while the intention behind the words is often more critical than the words themselves, we can hear the same words from different people with completely different responses. Their intention, our history with them, and our own history separate from them, all contribute to what we think we hear.
To assure that the spokesperson and words match the listener best, we as conflict resolutionalist must approach each new situation from an empathetic perspective. Be aware however, that empathetic listening is not about being nice, but about effecting change and getting results though making requests out of our shared connection.
Distinguish Between Sympathetic Listening and Empathetic Listening
Empathetic listening is different from sympathetic listening. Sympathetic listening creates a connection between two people. As you listen you relate the situation to one that you may have experienced. You appreciate the struggle and the concern as you have been through a similar struggle. Those who are sympathetic by nature work hard to assess situations through our framework and world experience. This is being sympathet.
Conflict arises from perceived incompatibilities between parties and can be exacerbated by social dilemmas, competition, injustice and misperception. Key causes of conflict include pursuing self-interest at the expense of others in social dilemmas, win-lose competition fostering negative views of opponents, perceived inequity in outcomes, and biases that lead parties to see themselves positively and opponents negatively. Peace can be achieved through contact between parties, cooperation on shared goals, open communication to find mutually agreeable solutions, and conciliation where one party makes unilateral concessions to build trust.
Persuading, influencing and negotiating skillsMohammed Gamal
This document discusses skills for persuading, negotiating, and influencing others. It explains that persuading involves convincing others to take action, negotiating involves reaching mutually agreeable agreements, and influencing encompasses both. The document provides tips for each skill, such as focusing on others' needs, using logical arguments, and subtly complimenting others. It also discusses laws of influence, such as reciprocity, authority, and social proof. The overall message is that these skills are important for many jobs and situations, and one must understand different negotiation strategies to be effective.
This document contains information about an upcoming class including important dates like the midterm on December 1st and assignment due dates. It also provides summaries of chapters from the book "Negotiation Yoga" including truths about different negotiating styles, satisficing versus optimizing in negotiations, and qualities of enlightened negotiators. Key negotiation concepts like BATNA, interests, and options are also defined in the midterm review section.

As an example, in accordance with the Johnson's 1785 Dictionary definition (https://archive.org/stream/dictionaryofengl02johnuoft#page/n734/mode/1up), notice that In the Articles of Confederation the capitalized word "States" or "State" is to be interpreted as "Nobility".

Articles of Confederation - article x - xiiiNiki Hannevig
When reading any TRANSCRIPTION of a founding, handwritten, document pertaining to "The United States of America", be sure to check that document against a Certified Copy of the handwritten for its accuracy as to its intended lettering, and how the lettering of those words were defined at the time of, and after, they were penned. As an example, in accordance with the Johnson's 1785 Dictionary definition (https://archive.org/stream/dictionaryofengl02johnuoft#page/n734/mode/1up), notice that In the Articles of Confederation the capitalized word "States" or "State" is to be interpreted as "Nobility". If STATE, or STATES is in all caps, clearly, it's now considered a corporation.

This document discusses psychological aspects of undue influence and provides a lesson for potential jurists. It aims to help jurists recognize tactics used by manipulative caregivers to redirect a vulnerable person's rights and assets for their own benefit.

Examples of common law crimes like barratry, maintenance and champerty are provided that relate to manipulative behaviors. The document encourages jurists to protect vulnerable people from exploitation based on historical and scriptural precedence.

Is the IRS a 3rd party debt collector for "The Treasury" of a foreign corpora...Niki Hannevig
The IRS is directed by international organizations rather than the US government. Pursuant to Treasury orders, the IRS is trained by the UN and collects taxes on behalf of international financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank. As members of INTERPOL, IRS agents expatriate their US citizenship and serve foreign principals rather than the United States. The IRS operates under international agreements rather than the US Constitution and collects taxes for private banks like the Federal Reserve rather than the US Treasury.

from Zeus? Therefore, if these matters are undeniable, you need to be
calm, and do not act rashly. For you have brought these men here who are
neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your female mighty one. If

anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse one
another. And if you have any further complaint, it shall be settled in the
regular assembly.”

8. Conflict styles are patterned responses
to confrontation
and, therefore, strongly influence the
types of strategies selected when
dealing with conflict at home, or in a
group.
Conflict styles cluster into
five general types:
Avoiding
Competing
Accommodating
Compromising
Collaborating
9. May be Appropriate When: May be Inappropriate When:
The issue is trivial.
You need time to think.
The relationship is
insignificant.
Time is short and a decision is
not necessary.
You have little power but wish to
block the other person.
You need to prevent being
harmed.
11. May be Appropriate When: May be Inappropriate When:
You are likely to harbor
resentment.
You habitually accommodate
to gain acceptance. (Habitual
accommodating may - in some people -
lead to depression and lack of self-
respect.)
Used with others who wish to
collaborate rather than
enforce their decisions.
13. May be Appropriate When: May be Inappropriate When:
Time is short.
The issues are unimportant.
You, or the people with
whom you’re
collaborating, are mentally
or emotionally
overburdened or distraught.
The goals of the other person
are (objectively) known to
be wrong.
14. Whether we negotiate within a group or within our
selves, negotiation is a consensual process of adjusting
differences.
Following are Two Perspectives on Negotiation and Two
Processes by which Conf lict is typically Negotiated.
Adversarial and Collaborative
15.
16. 1 - Start with agreeing to work on the problem together
- Choose an appropriate time and place
- Prepare emotionally and gather relevant information
Process for
- Build rapport and set ground rules
Negotiation
2 – Listen to the other person’s
6- Agree on what the problems are that you must negotiate
- Needs and wants
- Identify areas of common ground
- Reasons for those needs and wants
- Ask questions for clarification
- Feelings about their situation and the
- State measurable goals and objectives
needs and wants
3 - Summarize the other person’s
- Needs and wants
- Reasons given for those needs and wants 7 - Brainstorm options for solutions one issue at a time. Wait
- Feelings to evaluate options until a good list has been generated.
8 - Make proposals for solutions. Add and subtract to
proposals. Go back and forth, shaping solutions.
4 - State clearly to the other person your
- Wants and needs
- Reasons for those wants and needs
- Feelings about the situation and the wants and needs 9- If appropriate, write down the agreements.
5 - Summarize the other person’s
- Needs and wants
- Reasons given for those needs and wants 10 - Recognize that, together, you have
- Feelings succeeded in working out your problem.
17. Separate the people from the problems.
Be soft on people and hard on problems.
Focus on interests, not positions.
When positions look incompatible, look at underlying
interests and needs.
Generate options for mutual gain.
Work for a win/win approach to resolution.
Assure a fair process.
Process is just as important as the outcome.
Practice direct communication.
Talk with others, not at them, to them, or about them.
Test reality when there is an impasse.
What is the best alternative to a negotiated agreement?
If you walk away from negotiations, what do you walk into?
