What is conflict?
• An expressed struggle – Disagreement becomes verbal
  and nonverbal facial/gestures show aggression.

• Between at least two independent people – Conflict
  between members affects group members.

• Incompatible goals, scarce resources and interference –
  Conflict often because two people want the same thing.

What is your conflict style?
       (From quiz)
Five Conflict Management Styles
• Dysfunctional families – Many of us grew up in families where
  we didn’t learn to effectively communicate in relationships,
  especially when it involves conflict – being assertive helps heal
  and reduces our stress and conflict with others.

There are five basic styles of communication:
  - Avoidance
  - Accommodation
  - Competition
  - Compromise
  - Collaboration
Five Conflict Management
  Styles
Avoidance is a style (AS) in which individuals have developed a
pattern of avoiding expressing their opinions or feelings, protecting their rights, and
identifying and meeting their needs.
AS will:
•Avoid conflict
•Fall to assert themselves
•Allows others to infringe on their rights
•Tend to speak softy and apologetically
Issues:
•Avoidance can make conflict worse
•Avoidance demonstrates lack of care or concern
When is this style appropriate?
•Can be positive, especially if the conflict is too big or emotional to resolve without help
•Can give a group time to cool off – or allows group to avoid ‘hot' issues to get in the way
Five Conflict Management Styles

Accommodation is a style (ACS) in which individuals give in to
avoid a major blow up or controversy. Not a bad approach,
especially when conflict is pseudo or simple.
ACS will:
•Hope this approach makes the conflict go away
•Have a high need for approval – think this will make people like
them more
•Give in too quickly, and doesn’t allow discussion which is often
healthy for a group making decisions
When is this style appropriate?
•Accommodating others may cause the group to make a bad
decision, if more discussion isn’t allowed to happen
Five Conflict Management Styles
Competition is a style (CS) that people who have power or want more power
often seek to compete with others. Often referred to aggressive.
CS will:
•Try to dominate others
•Use humiliation to control others
•Have low frustration levels
•Blame others, instead of owning
    the issues
When is style appropriate?
•Not always wrong to compete, if you know you aren’t wrong
•Also, if group members are suggesting something illegal or inappropriate
•Or, member keeps others in the group from destructive or inappropriate
behavior
Five Conflict Management Styles
Compromise ‘the big C’ (CS) is style that
attempts to find a middle ground – a solution
that meets all needs.
Issues:
•You win…I win, is the best case, however at
times nobody gets what they want.
•Or, some lose and some win, which is
expected…like a democracy. The majority win.
•What can happen to the minority?
Five Conflict Management Styles
Collaboration is a style (COS) where group
members work side-by-side, rather than going
 after power, control, or winner takes all.
COS will:
•View conflict has something that needs to
     be resolved, rather than a game where
     people win or lose.
•COS leave personal grievances aside.
Works best:
•With a culturally diverse group
•When group has the time to take to work through discussion, and looking
all solutions to make sure everyone is happy with decision

Dealing with Difficult People
                       Crazy - Makers

Passive Aggressive – is a style where
individuals appear passive on the surface
but are actually acting out anger in a subtle,
indirect, or behind the scenes way.
PA will:
•Mutter to themselves
•Use facial expressions that don’t’ match
•Deny there is a problem
•Become alienated from those around them
PA believe:
•They are weak and resentful, so I sabotage, frustrate and disrupt.
•I will appear cooperative but I’m not.
Dealing with Difficult Members
Recognizing Crazy maker Behavior


  •   Surprise you with requests
  •   Pressure to do something when you’re unsure
  •   Use relationships as leverage
  •   Isolate you from support
  •   Shift expectations and moods
Guidelines for Creating and Sustaining Healthy
                       Climates
• Learn to recognize and deal with Crazymakers
• Try to determine the communication conflict style of your
  group members.
• Actively use communication to build climates
• Accept and confirm others
• Respect diversity in relationships
Just as we should respect others, you need to respect,
  affirm, and assert yourself!
• Affirm and assert yourself
• Respond constructively to criticism
Crazy makers can be managed
Don’t expect them to respond to feelings –
Use statements that are factual, not emotional.
Don’t let them spoil you day – One needs to emotionally
  separate their identity and self-esteem from their
  negative behavior – Don’t take it personally!
Manage yourself in their presence
• Monitor your physical and nonverbal responses.
• Stay neutral – don’t show emotions show in your tone
  of voice, facial expressions or gestures.
• Don’t give them the “power.”
Crazymakers can be managed
Manage and communicate expectations
• Don’t expect them to behave as you do.
• Be clear with them about your expectations.
Slow them Down – Tell them “You will get back to
   them,” or “You don’t have all the information you
   need to make a decisions.”
Ask lot’s of questions – This will help you sort out their
   demands and determine what they want.
Misconceptions About Conflict
• Conflict should be avoided at all costs

• All conflict occurs because people do not
  understand one another

• All conflict can be resolved

What do you see?
It is a matter of perspective
• What do you see in the picture?
• Some people see an eagle and a beaver, and
  other things.
Questions:
• Why do some people see an young or old woman, beaver, or
  eagle?
• Is there a right way to see them?
• How did you feel about those who saw it differently? The
  same?
• Was there ever a time when you saw something one way and
  some else saw it differently?
Conflict – can be a matter of perspective

• Two people can look at the same picture and
  see something different without either being
  wrong, how might this affect a conflict?
• If something is more serious such as if
  someone is pro life or pro choice, is there
  right or wrong?
• What if each person sees the situation a
  different way? How can they figure out a
  resolution to the conflict if they are both
  right?
The blind men and the Elephant
What did the blind men see?




•    The moral of the story is that each one of us sees things exclusively within one’s
     point of view. We should also try to understand other people’s points of view.
    This will enable us to get a proper perspective on different situations and events.
Chapter 8
  Encourage Supportive Communication

Different types of communication create supportive
  and defensive climates in personal relationships.
 Interpersonal climates occur on a continuum
  confirming to disconfirming.
 Confirming messages recognize that another person
  exists, acknowledge that another matters to us, and
  endorse what we believe is true.
 Disconfirming messages deny the person’s existence,
  indicate the other person does not matter to us, and
  reject another person’s feelings or thoughts.
Rewind - Say it better!
               Disconfirming vs. confirming
Change evaluation to description
 You’re acting very immaturely.
Example:“I notice that you are getting upset by this situation.”

Change certainty to provisionalism
 The right thing to do is crystal clear
Example: “The right thing to do can be difficult to decide.”

Change strategy to spontaneity
 Don’t you owe me a favor from when I typed that paper for you last term?
Example, “Remember the term paper I helped you with last term? Do you think you could help me out with one of my own?”

Change control orientation to problem orientation
 I think we should move where I have the good job offer since I earn a larger salary than you anyway.
Example, “In terms of moving, what decision will make the most sense for us in terms of our financial position as well as our
   relationship?

Change neutrality to empathy
 I can’t believe you got yourself into such a dumb predicament.
 Example, “This is tricky situation. Let’s see what we can do to help you address it.”

Change superiority to equality
 I don’t want to get involved in your disagreement.
 Example, “I can see where you’re coming from with this, and based on what you’ve said, it seems like it might be best to
   talk with Susan directly about this issue.”
Aggression, Assertion, & Deference
Respond Constructively to
               Criticism
Refusing to accept criticism is likely to erect barriers or
  affect job performance reviews.
Seek more information - asking questions, paraphrasing what you have
    heard to reduce tension.
Consider the criticism thoughtfully – Is it valid?
If you decide the criticism is valid, consider whether you want to
    change how you act.
Thank the person who offered the criticism – sometimes is disarming
    and keeps the door open for communication in the future.
Sometimes people are just difficult to deal with. They can be: rude,
    inconsiderate, or just crazymakers. This calls for you to protect
    yourself.

• Do not change mind too quickly
• Avoid easy conflict reducing techniques
• Seek different opinions
• Involve everyone in discussion

GROUPTHINK
A: John F. Kennedy’s response to his and his advisers
  decision to invade the Bay of Pigs.
The decision making process of this event and others,
  such as:
• Watergate, the crash of flight 173, and the Monica
  scandal have been studied and identified as

                                  Most people do not like conflict

                                  Groupthink is the absence of conflict

                                  Group members go along with the other
                                   group members (because they are afraid
                                   of authority or of making waves)
   Conflict provides different
ideas and points of view that     Group members close themselves off to
 if shared and discussed can       input from those outside the group
    led to greater ideas and
    ultimately a better end.      Group members become paralyzed and
                                   unable to see the errors of their ways

                                  To avoid Groupthink allow some
                                   conflict…you’ll feel better in the end
Groupthink: Conflict Avoidance

• Type of thinking when group tries to reach
  consensus without critical testing,
  analyzing and evaluating ideas
• Results in ineffective consensus
• Too little conflict lowers quality of group

     •    Steve Jobs co-founded Apple Computers with Stephen Wozniak.
          Under his guidance
     •    The company pioneered a series of revolutionary technologies,
          including the iPhone and iPad.
     Greatest Traits:
     1) The consummate salesman
     •    The most visible element of Jobs’s success was his ability to
          convince people that they absolutely had to have whatever it was
          that he had to offer.
     2) The incredible judge of consumer behavior
     •    Other companies do focus groups to ask what customers want. That
          never worked for Steve Jobs, because he knew what people wanted
          long before they themselves knew.
     3) The perfectionist
     •    Attention to detail has long been a hallmark of Apple’s products and
          much of that can be attributed to the relentless focus of Steve Jobs.
          Jobs pushed himself hard and everyone around him hard.
     •    The result was that workers were pushed to deliver things that they
          themselves didn’t think possible.
Functional Perspective
Task leadership –                               Process leadership – Group
accomplishing group goals                       building and maintenance
                                                •    Releasing tension – Knowing
•   Initiating – Getting the group to                when to add humor, breaks, etc. to
    begin the task.                                  remove group from conflict, stress.
•   Coordinating – One of the more
    important leadership roles is               •    Gatekeeping – Guiding
    coordinating activities and goals.               discussion.
•   Summarizing – Groups need                   •    Encouraging – Improve the morale

•   Elaborating – Sometimes good                •    Mediating – Leadership aims at
    ideas are ignored. A good leader                 resolving conflict between group

Situational Perspective – Table 12.1
•       Authoritarian
         – Leader makes all policy decisions.
         – Dictate all activity, steps, and vision.
         – Work one on one with praise and criticism.
         – Aloof from group.
•       Democratic
         – Policies are a matter of group discussion.
         – Leader checks in at all times with group and follows up.
         – Leader leaves decision of task to your group.
    •    Laissez-Faire
         -- Leader participates at minimum.
         -- Complete freedom for group.
        --

Authoritian Leadership

•   Adolf Hitler was extremely authoritarian. He required the population of the
    Third Reich to accept everything that he said as absolute law, and was able
    to impose a death sentence on anyone who failed to do so. Hitler was
    obsessed with being in control, and with being the alpha male in a rigid male
    dominance hierarchy.[12]

•   Martha Stewart constructed her empire through her own special attention to
    every detail. She was meticulous, demanding, thorough and scrupulous. She
    flourished in her ventures and in using her authoritarian leadership style. [13]
Democratic Leadership

Consensus Takers - Leader gets input from
everyone – Bill Clinton an example – Polled all and
then made a decision.
Other example - Dwight D. Eisenhower
•Eisenhower was one of America's greatest
military commanders and the thirty-fourth
President of the United States.
Autocratic Leadership
•   Autocratic leadership style works well if the leader is competent and
    knowledgeable enough to decide about each and everything.
•   Authoritative is considered one of the most effective leadership styles in
    case there is some emergency and quick decisions need to be taken.
•    Bill Gates adopted this style and has steered Microsoft toward great
    success. According to Bill Gates, he had a vision when he took reins of the
    company and then used all the resources available to make that vision a
    reality.
•   In the personal computer workplace, many operating conditions call for
    urgent action, making this style of leadership effective. While Gates does
    not exhibit this style consistently, his success can be judged by his
    decision making process and the growth of the computer industry in the
    world.[1
Leadership Patterns
• Communication that influences, guides,
  directs or controls group

Transformational Leadership
Four defining characteristics
•Individualized Consideration – the degree to which the leader attends to each follower's needs, acts as a mentor or coach to
the follower and listens to the follower's concerns and needs. The leader gives empathy and support, keeps communication open
and places challenges before the followers.

•Intellectual Stimulation – the degree to which the leader challenges assumptions, takes risks and solicits followers' ideas.
Leaders with this style stimulate and encourage creativity in their followers. They nurture and develop people who think
independently. For such a leader, learning is a value and unexpected situations are seen as opportunities to learn.

•Inspirational Motivation – the degree to which the leader articulates a vision that is appealing and inspiring to followers.
Leaders with inspirational motivation challenge followers with high standards, communicate optimism about future goals, and
provide meaning for the task at hand. Followers need to have a strong sense of purpose if they are to be motivated to act.
Purpose and meaning provide the energy that drives a group forward.

•The visionary aspects of leadership are supported by communication skills that make the vision understandable, precise,
powerful and engaging. The followers are willing to invest more effort in their tasks, they are encouraged and optimistic about
the future and believe in their abilities.

•Idealized Influence – Provides a role model for high ethical behavior, instills pride, gains respect and trust.

Emergent Leadership in Small Groups
Minnesota Studies
• Leaders emerge through a “method of
  residues”
• Members reject dictatorial candidates
• Accepted the contender with the optimum
  blend of task efficiency and personal
  consideration

Leadership and Self-deception in
           Organizations
• Leaders ignore upward communication
  from non-managerial members

• Leaders must solicit communication from
  lower-status members

  • 12. What is your conflict style? (From quiz)
  • 13. Five Conflict Management Styles • Dysfunctional families – Many of us grew up in families where we didn’t learn to effectively communicate in relationships, especially when it involves conflict – being assertive helps heal and reduces our stress and conflict with others. There are five basic styles of communication: - Avoidance - Accommodation - Competition - Compromise - Collaboration
  • 14. Five Conflict Management Styles Avoidance is a style (AS) in which individuals have developed a pattern of avoiding expressing their opinions or feelings, protecting their rights, and identifying and meeting their needs. AS will: •Avoid conflict •Fall to assert themselves •Allows others to infringe on their rights •Tend to speak softy and apologetically Issues: •Avoidance can make conflict worse •Avoidance demonstrates lack of care or concern When is this style appropriate? •Can be positive, especially if the conflict is too big or emotional to resolve without help •Can give a group time to cool off – or allows group to avoid ‘hot' issues to get in the way
  • 15. Five Conflict Management Styles Accommodation is a style (ACS) in which individuals give in to avoid a major blow up or controversy. Not a bad approach, especially when conflict is pseudo or simple. ACS will: •Hope this approach makes the conflict go away •Have a high need for approval – think this will make people like them more •Give in too quickly, and doesn’t allow discussion which is often healthy for a group making decisions When is this style appropriate? •Accommodating others may cause the group to make a bad decision, if more discussion isn’t allowed to happen
  • 16. Five Conflict Management Styles Competition is a style (CS) that people who have power or want more power often seek to compete with others. Often referred to aggressive. CS will: •Try to dominate others •Use humiliation to control others •Have low frustration levels •Blame others, instead of owning the issues When is style appropriate? •Not always wrong to compete, if you know you aren’t wrong •Also, if group members are suggesting something illegal or inappropriate •Or, member keeps others in the group from destructive or inappropriate behavior
  • 17. Five Conflict Management Styles Compromise ‘the big C’ (CS) is style that attempts to find a middle ground – a solution that meets all needs. Issues: •You win…I win, is the best case, however at times nobody gets what they want. •Or, some lose and some win, which is expected…like a democracy. The majority win. •What can happen to the minority?
  • 18. Five Conflict Management Styles Collaboration is a style (COS) where group members work side-by-side, rather than going after power, control, or winner takes all. COS will: •View conflict has something that needs to be resolved, rather than a game where people win or lose. •COS leave personal grievances aside. Works best: •With a culturally diverse group •When group has the time to take to work through discussion, and looking all solutions to make sure everyone is happy with decision
  • 19. Resolving Conflicts Where do the styles fit? Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
  • 20. Dealing with Difficult People Crazy - Makers Passive Aggressive – is a style where individuals appear passive on the surface but are actually acting out anger in a subtle, indirect, or behind the scenes way. PA will: •Mutter to themselves •Use facial expressions that don’t’ match •Deny there is a problem •Become alienated from those around them PA believe: •They are weak and resentful, so I sabotage, frustrate and disrupt. •I will appear cooperative but I’m not.
  • 21. Dealing with Difficult Members Recognizing Crazy maker Behavior • Surprise you with requests • Pressure to do something when you’re unsure • Use relationships as leverage • Isolate you from support • Shift expectations and moods
  • 22. Guidelines for Creating and Sustaining Healthy Climates • Learn to recognize and deal with Crazymakers • Try to determine the communication conflict style of your group members. • Actively use communication to build climates • Accept and confirm others • Respect diversity in relationships Just as we should respect others, you need to respect, affirm, and assert yourself! • Affirm and assert yourself • Respond constructively to criticism
  • 23. Crazy makers can be managed Don’t expect them to respond to feelings – Use statements that are factual, not emotional. Don’t let them spoil you day – One needs to emotionally separate their identity and self-esteem from their negative behavior – Don’t take it personally! Manage yourself in their presence • Monitor your physical and nonverbal responses. • Stay neutral – don’t show emotions show in your tone of voice, facial expressions or gestures. • Don’t give them the “power.”
  • 24. Crazymakers can be managed Manage and communicate expectations • Don’t expect them to behave as you do. • Be clear with them about your expectations. Slow them Down – Tell them “You will get back to them,” or “You don’t have all the information you need to make a decisions.” Ask lot’s of questions – This will help you sort out their demands and determine what they want.
  • 25. Misconceptions About Conflict • Conflict should be avoided at all costs • All conflict occurs because people do not understand one another • All conflict can be resolved Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved

  • 30. What do you see?
  • 31. It is a matter of perspective • What do you see in the picture? • Some people see an eagle and a beaver, and other things. Questions: • Why do some people see an young or old woman, beaver, or eagle? • Is there a right way to see them? • How did you feel about those who saw it differently? The same? • Was there ever a time when you saw something one way and some else saw it differently?
  • 32. Conflict – can be a matter of perspective • Two people can look at the same picture and see something different without either being wrong, how might this affect a conflict? • If something is more serious such as if someone is pro life or pro choice, is there right or wrong? • What if each person sees the situation a different way? How can they figure out a resolution to the conflict if they are both right?
  • 33. The blind men and the Elephant
  • 34. What did the blind men see? • The moral of the story is that each one of us sees things exclusively within one’s point of view. We should also try to understand other people’s points of view. This will enable us to get a proper perspective on different situations and events.
  • 35. Chapter 8 Encourage Supportive Communication Different types of communication create supportive and defensive climates in personal relationships.  Interpersonal climates occur on a continuum confirming to disconfirming.  Confirming messages recognize that another person exists, acknowledge that another matters to us, and endorse what we believe is true.  Disconfirming messages deny the person’s existence, indicate the other person does not matter to us, and reject another person’s feelings or thoughts.
  • 36. Rewind - Say it better! Disconfirming vs. confirming Change evaluation to description  You’re acting very immaturely. Example:“I notice that you are getting upset by this situation.” Change certainty to provisionalism  The right thing to do is crystal clear Example: “The right thing to do can be difficult to decide.” Change strategy to spontaneity  Don’t you owe me a favor from when I typed that paper for you last term? Example, “Remember the term paper I helped you with last term? Do you think you could help me out with one of my own?” Change control orientation to problem orientation  I think we should move where I have the good job offer since I earn a larger salary than you anyway. Example, “In terms of moving, what decision will make the most sense for us in terms of our financial position as well as our relationship? Change neutrality to empathy  I can’t believe you got yourself into such a dumb predicament.  Example, “This is tricky situation. Let’s see what we can do to help you address it.” Change superiority to equality  I don’t want to get involved in your disagreement.  Example, “I can see where you’re coming from with this, and based on what you’ve said, it seems like it might be best to talk with Susan directly about this issue.”
  • 38. Respond Constructively to Criticism Refusing to accept criticism is likely to erect barriers or affect job performance reviews. Seek more information - asking questions, paraphrasing what you have heard to reduce tension. Consider the criticism thoughtfully – Is it valid? If you decide the criticism is valid, consider whether you want to change how you act. Thank the person who offered the criticism – sometimes is disarming and keeps the door open for communication in the future. Sometimes people are just difficult to deal with. They can be: rude, inconsiderate, or just crazymakers. This calls for you to protect yourself.
  • 39. How to Promote Honest Interaction and Dialogue • Do not change mind too quickly • Avoid easy conflict reducing techniques • Seek different opinions • Involve everyone in discussion • Use variety of methods to reach agreement • Expand the number of ideas using various techniques Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
  • 40. Be Other Oriented • Give your idea to • Avoid opinionated group statements that • Do not assume indicate a closed someone must win mind or lose • Clarify • Use group oriented misunderstandings rather than self • Emphasize areas oriented pronouns of agreement Copyright © 2012, 2009, 2006, Pearson Education, Inc.

  • 42. Advice from Grade School Children

The decision making process of this event and others, such as: • Watergate, the crash of flight 173, and the Monica scandal have been studied and identified as Groupthink Q: Why did JFK think their actions were stupid. He and his advisors were competent and intelligent?
  • 47. GROUPTHINK Q: How many of you avoid situations that might involve conflict?  Most people do not like conflict  Groupthink is the absence of conflict  Group members go along with the other group members (because they are afraid of authority or of making waves) Conflict provides different ideas and points of view that  Group members close themselves off to if shared and discussed can input from those outside the group led to greater ideas and ultimately a better end.  Group members become paralyzed and unable to see the errors of their ways  To avoid Groupthink allow some conflict…you’ll feel better in the end
